A slanted, humanist sans with gently rounded geometry and soft, slightly tapered stroke endings. Curves are smooth and open, with generous counters and open apertures that keep the forms readable. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and a lively, handwritten-influenced rhythm, while the capitals remain simple and upright in structure but share the same subtle curvature and softened joins. Overall spacing and proportions feel even and clean, with a consistent rightward motion that gives the text an easy flow in continuous reading.
Well suited for extended reading in editorial layouts, magazines, and book-like typography where a gentle italic voice is desired. It also works nicely for branding, packaging, and short display lines that benefit from a friendly, human presence without becoming overtly decorative.
The tone is informal and welcoming, with an easygoing, conversational feel. Its italic angle and softened shapes suggest a personal, literary voice—more like a calm note or editorial aside than a sharp corporate statement.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, everyday italic with a humanist touch—combining clean sans construction with softened terminals and a comfortable, contemporary rhythm for text-forward applications.
The numerals follow the same rounded, slightly calligraphic logic as the letters, keeping a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. In the sample text, the slant and open forms create a smooth horizontal rhythm that remains clear without looking rigid.
