A slanted, humanist sans with calligraphic influence and a lively, right-leaning rhythm. Strokes show subtle modulation and tapered terminals rather than abrupt cuts, giving curves and diagonals a drawn quality. Proportions are compact in the lowercase, with small interior spaces and a relatively low x-height feel, while capitals stay clean and rounded with open bowls. Letterforms are slightly irregular in width and spacing, emphasizing a natural, handwritten cadence over strict geometric uniformity.
Works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a distinctive italic texture is desirable. It also suits cultural branding, book and album covers, and posters that benefit from an elegant, voice-forward sans with a handwritten edge.
The overall tone feels literary and refined, with an expressive, editorial flavor that suggests motion and voice rather than neutrality. It reads as elegant and slightly dramatic, suitable for text that wants personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to bridge a clean sans structure with the gesture of italic writing, delivering a contemporary, readable texture that still feels authored. Its emphasis on slant, tapering terminals, and varied rhythm suggests a font built for expressive typography in display and editorial settings.
Round forms like O/C/G are smooth and spacious, while diagonals and joins (notably in k, v, w, x) have sharper, pen-like energy. Numerals appear similarly slanted and streamlined, with simple, readable shapes and minimal ornamentation.
