A slanted, low‑stress italic with clean, rounded construction and gently tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with a consistent rhythm and moderate stroke modulation that keeps forms crisp without feeling sharp. Capitals are streamlined and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase shows a clear two‑storey “g” and a single‑storey “a,” with compact bowls and restrained joins. Numerals follow the same calm, slightly calligraphic slant, with elegant curves and clear interior counters.
Well suited for editorial settings such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book typography where an italic voice is needed with strong readability. It can also serve branding and headline roles that benefit from a refined, energetic slant, and it should perform comfortably in short to medium text sizes.
The overall tone reads polished and editorial, with a cultured, literary feel that stays modern rather than ornamental. Its slant adds motion and emphasis, making it feel expressive and confident while remaining composed.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic with a clean, contemporary skeleton and just enough modulation to feel typographic and expressive. It aims to deliver emphasis and elegance in running text while keeping letterforms open and controlled.
Spacing appears balanced and even in text, helping longer lines stay readable despite the pronounced italic angle. The design favors clarity over flourish, using subtle curvature and terminal shaping to add character without visual noise.
