A slanted, italic sans with smooth, rounded construction and subtly tapered terminals that mimic pen-formed strokes. Curves are generous and continuous, while straighter strokes stay clean and slightly modulated, producing a controlled, medium-contrast rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with open counters and a steady baseline, and the overall texture in text is even and readable despite the strong forward lean.
It performs well in editorial typography where a fluent italic voice is needed—magazine features, pull quotes, and cover lines. The smooth curves and consistent texture also suit branding and packaging that wants a refined, contemporary-classic impression, and it can add emphasis in posters or headlines when paired with a calmer roman companion.
The font conveys a polished, cultured tone with a distinctly editorial feel. Its italic posture and gentle calligraphic shaping add sophistication and motion, suggesting elegance without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic with a modern sans base, borrowing just enough calligraphic modulation to feel expressive and premium. It aims to provide a graceful, readable slant for display and text emphasis while maintaining a clean, rounded silhouette.
Uppercase forms stay relatively restrained and geometric, while lowercase shows more handwriting influence, especially in the round letters and the single-storey constructions. Numerals follow the same slanted, smooth logic, keeping the set cohesive for mixed text settings.
