A gently slanted, humanist sans with a softly calligraphic construction and rounded, open forms. Strokes feel smooth and slightly tapered at joins, with minimal contrast and a consistent, flowing rhythm. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, helping letters breathe in text. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, long-ish ascenders/descenders, and unobtrusive terminals; numerals and capitals maintain the same supple, slightly drawn quality as the lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book design where an italic voice is used extensively for emphasis or primary text. It can also support brand identities, packaging, and cultural or lifestyle communications that want a contemporary sans with a subtly crafted, human touch.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an easy, conversational elegance rather than a rigid, technical feel. Its italic slant reads as expressive and editorial, adding motion and warmth while staying restrained and professional.
Likely intended as an italic-forward companion or stand-alone italic for text-driven design, combining the clarity of a sans with a gently handwritten, humanist rhythm. The design aims for readability at paragraph sizes while offering a more expressive, refined tone than a neutral oblique.
The italic forms maintain clear, familiar skeletons, and the spacing in the sample text suggests comfortable word rhythm for continuous reading. Curved letters show smooth geometry and steady modulation, and the figures appear designed to harmonize with the text color rather than stand apart.
