A slanted sans with softly rounded construction and gently tapered terminals that keep the shapes feeling polished rather than rigid. Strokes show a measured, calligraphic-like modulation, with smooth joins and open apertures that maintain clarity in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions are generous and spacious, giving letters room to breathe; round characters stay elliptical and even, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read crisp and controlled. The figures follow the same slanted rhythm, with curved, flowing forms and consistent stress that suits continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, article headers, and pull quotes where a sophisticated slanted voice is useful. Its clean curves and consistent rhythm also make it a strong option for branding and packaging, and for poster or campaign copy that needs a modern but personable tone.
The overall tone is editorial and refined, combining a contemporary simplicity with a subtle, crafted warmth. It feels poised and literate without becoming ornate, lending a calm, confident voice that works well in longer passages.
Likely intended as a contemporary italic companion or standalone slanted text face that adds emphasis with elegance rather than aggression. The design balances smooth geometric influence with humanist modulation to remain readable while still feeling designed and characterful.
The italic angle is steady across the set, creating a cohesive forward motion. Curves are notably smooth and the rhythm of spacing appears even, which helps the font stay legible while still conveying a distinctive, slightly human touch.
