A clean italic sans with smooth, rounded construction and gently tapered stroke endings. Letterforms lean consistently with a calm rhythm, using open apertures and generous counters that keep the texture light on the page. Curves are drawn with a soft, continuous motion (notably in C, G, S, and e), while straight strokes stay crisp and uncluttered. Numerals follow the same understated, rounded logic, with simple forms and clear differentiation.
Works well for brand identities, editorial typography, and magazine layouts where a sleek italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads. The open forms and light texture also make it a good fit for UI labels and short-to-medium reading passages where clarity and a modern tone are important.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with a refined slant that adds motion and sophistication without feeling formal or rigid. Its soft terminals and open shapes give it a friendly, readable voice suited to modern branding and editorial settings.
Designed to provide a contemporary italic companion with smooth geometry and an easy reading rhythm, offering emphasis that feels polished rather than ornate. The consistent slant and rounded construction suggest a focus on clean, modern communication across both display and text-oriented uses.
The italic is true-drawn rather than merely obliqued, with characteristic cursive-like structure in the lowercase (especially a, e, f, and y) and a smooth, even flow across words. Capitals remain restrained and streamlined, supporting a clean headline presence while maintaining the font’s gentle, rounded personality.
