A slanted, humanist sans with calligraphic construction and softly tapered stroke endings. Curves are generous and open, with round counters and smooth joins that keep the texture even across words. Uppercase forms are clean and slightly narrow in feel, while lowercase shows more handwritten rhythm—especially in the two-storey “a,” the single-storey “g,” and the gently hooked descenders. Figures are clear and familiar, with a classic, readable proportioning that matches the text style.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book jackets, and feature articles where an italic voice can carry emphasis or atmosphere. The distinctive slant and humanist detailing also suit branding, packaging, and display lines that benefit from an approachable, refined tone.
The overall tone is warm and editorial, suggesting a voice that is cultured without feeling stiff. Its oblique stance and soft shaping add a conversational, lightly sophisticated character suited to narrative or explanatory content. The font reads as modern-classic rather than technical or overtly geometric.
The design appears intended to provide an expressive, readable italic with a humanist backbone—combining clean sans structure with calligraphic cues to add warmth and motion in continuous text.
The italic angle is steady and consistent, helping lines of text flow smoothly. Rounded forms like o/c/e stay open, and verticals avoid harsh, squared terminations, which supports comfortable reading at text sizes while still holding up in larger settings.
