A slanted, clean-lined italic with smooth, rounded construction and gently tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and generous curves, producing open counters and a steady left-to-right rhythm. Uppercase forms are slightly narrow and streamlined, while lowercase shapes keep a straightforward, readable structure with a single-storey “a” and a simple, open “e”. Numerals follow the same angled, flowing logic, with clear oval bowls and consistent diagonal stress.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italic voice is needed for emphasis, such as subheads, decks, pull quotes, and highlighted passages. It can also serve branding and packaging work that benefits from a sleek, energetic tone, and works effectively in display sizes where the slanted rhythm and rounded forms are most apparent.
The overall tone feels energetic and forward-moving, combining a polished, contemporary finish with an editorial sensibility. Its slant and moderate contrast add a touch of sophistication without becoming formal or ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a modern italic with strong readability and a refined, fluid rhythm—capable of functioning as both emphasis within text and as a standalone expressive voice in titles.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to read as purposeful emphasis, and spacing appears balanced for continuous text. Curves and diagonals are consistently handled, giving the face a cohesive, smooth texture across mixed-case settings and figures.
