A light, right-slanted sans with a calligraphic rhythm and gently modulated strokes. Forms are streamlined and compact with tall capitals, open apertures, and smooth, elliptical curves that keep the texture even in text. Terminals are clean and mostly sheared rather than rounded, giving strokes a crisp, contemporary finish. Numerals follow the same lean and lightness, with clear, simple construction and minimal ornament.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined subheads where a light italic voice adds emphasis. It can also work in branding and packaging that needs a modern, elegant tone, and in poster-style typography where its slanted momentum helps create hierarchy.
The overall tone is polished and expressive without becoming decorative. Its italic slant and airy weight suggest speed and sophistication, lending a cultivated, editorial feel while remaining restrained and readable.
The font appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion for contemporary layouts, prioritizing a graceful forward slant and clean construction to deliver emphasis with minimal visual noise.
The design maintains a consistent forward motion across both uppercase and lowercase, producing a lively horizontal flow. Curves stay smooth and controlled, and joins avoid excessive flare, keeping the color light and uniform in continuous reading.
