A slender, monoline italic with smooth, rounded constructions and an even rhythm. Curves are generously open (notably in C, G, O, and e), while joins stay crisp and controlled, producing a clean, contemporary silhouette. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with slightly tapered terminals that keep counters clear and spacing feeling light. Numerals follow the same flowing geometry, with softly curved 2 and 3 and a simple, unobtrusive 1.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a light, elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined, contemporary tone, and for short passages of display text where its airy spacing and rounded forms can breathe.
The overall tone is poised and understated, balancing modern simplicity with a subtle handwritten fluidity. It reads as calm and polished rather than loud, giving text a graceful, elevated feel without looking ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern italic companion with a smooth, geometric foundation and a gentle, humanist inflection—aiming for elegance and readability in display-oriented typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward geometric roundness and restrained diagonals, while the lowercase introduces a more human, gently calligraphic motion (e.g., the curved shoulder in r and the looping descender in g). The italic angle and open apertures help preserve clarity in longer settings, especially at larger sizes.
