A slanted sans with an airy, lightly built skeleton and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes show subtle modulation, with gentle thick–thin shifts and tapered endings that keep the texture crisp rather than mechanical. Counters are open and broadly elliptical, and the joins stay clean, giving the alphabet a calm, even rhythm. The forms lean toward a humanist construction, with slightly varied character widths and a generally open, readable lowercase.
Works well for editorial typography, magazine headings, and brand systems that need a clean italic voice with a refined texture. It also suits UI and web applications where a distinctive slanted style is useful for emphasis, pull quotes, captions, or navigational accents without overpowering surrounding text.
The overall tone feels contemporary and polished, with a quiet sophistication that reads as editorial and design-forward. Its slant adds momentum and a sense of motion without becoming flashy, keeping the voice professional and understated.
Likely designed as a versatile italic companion with a modern, humanist feel—prioritizing clarity, smooth rhythm, and a refined slanted texture for both display emphasis and comfortable text setting.
Uppercase shapes remain straightforward and uncluttered, while the lowercase carries more personality through curved shoulders and softly finished terminals. Figures are simple and text-friendly, matching the letterforms’ restrained contrast and smooth curvature.
