A slanted, lightly built italic with smooth, rounded construction and a clean, largely serifless finish. Strokes show subtle modulation and tapering, with gently flared terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming decorative. Proportions are balanced and readable: counters are open, curves are generous, and the overall rhythm is even, producing a calm line color in paragraph settings. The figures follow the same flowing, slightly calligraphic logic, with clear forms and consistent slant.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, captions, or pull quotes, and it can also serve as a refined primary face for short-to-medium reading. The clean, flowing shapes make it a strong choice for cultural branding, packaging, and other applications seeking an elegant, modern-leaning tone.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting measured sophistication rather than loud display. Its italic energy feels composed and contemporary, adding motion and emphasis while remaining understated and readable.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with a calm, humanist character—combining smooth, rounded geometry with restrained stroke modulation to create an elegant texture that stays practical in text.
Uppercase forms keep a straightforward silhouette while leaning into the italic angle; lowercase letters carry more of the handwriting influence through curved joins, soft shoulders, and tapered endings. Overall spacing appears comfortable, supporting continuous reading while still giving each letterform a distinct, graceful profile.
