A slanted, sans-leaning italic with smooth, elliptical construction and gently tapered terminals. Strokes are clean and continuous, with a crisp rhythm and moderate contrast that reads more like drawn italic forms than mechanically sheared roman letters. Counters are open and rounded, curves feel slightly calligraphic, and proportions stay balanced across caps, lowercase, and numerals for a cohesive, text-ready texture.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where a refined italic voice is needed. It also suits branding applications that want a tasteful, fluid italic for logotypes, packaging accents, or short headlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, with an understated sense of motion. It feels polished and contemporary while still nodding to classic italic tradition, making it suitable for expressive emphasis without becoming ornamental.
Designed to provide a graceful italic with clear readability and a smooth, modern rhythm. The letterforms emphasize continuity and controlled contrast to deliver a refined, premium feel for both display emphasis and longer passages.
Capitals are streamlined and slightly narrow in feel, contributing to a calm, composed line. The numerals follow the same oblique, tapered logic, maintaining a consistent color in running text and headings.
