A slanted, lightly calligraphic sans with smooth, rounded strokes and gently tapered terminals. The construction favors continuous curves and oval bowls, with minimal ornament and no visible serifs, producing a clean but hand-influenced rhythm. Proportions are tall and slender, with long ascenders/descenders and small lowercase bodies, giving lines of text an airy vertical sweep. Counters stay open and strokes remain even enough for consistent texture, while subtle modulation and curved joins add a soft, flowing character.
Well suited to editorial typography, pull quotes, and book or magazine applications where a graceful italic voice is desired. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a cultured, classic tone, especially at larger sizes where the tall proportions and subtle stroke modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, balancing formality with a personable, handwritten motion. Its elegant slant and tall proportions evoke editorial and cultural contexts—more poised than casual, but not rigid or technical.
Likely designed to offer an elegant italic companion with a clean, sans-like skeleton, combining modern simplicity with a lightly humanist, calligraphic cadence. The tall, slender proportions and open curves suggest an emphasis on sophistication and fluid reading rhythm in display and short-form text.
Capitals appear especially spacious and graceful, with rounded forms in C/G/O/Q and a gentle, sweeping diagonals in A/V/W/X/Y. Numerals follow the same italicized, calligraphic logic, with smooth curves and clear silhouettes that suit display and short text better than dense, small settings.
