A slanted, high-contrast design with narrow proportions and sharply tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and drawn with a calligraphic stress, while joins and apexes stay crisp, giving the alphabet a clean, sculpted rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the width, and the overall color on the page is light and bright due to thin hairlines paired with thicker stems.
Best suited to display and short-text applications where contrast and slant can be appreciated, such as magazine headlines, fashion or lifestyle branding, and refined poster typography. It can also work for pull quotes and subheads, but benefits from comfortable sizing and spacing to keep hairlines clear.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone with a contemporary, editorial sensibility. Its sharp modulation and flowing italic movement feel expressive and stylish, leaning more toward sophistication than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice with strong stroke contrast and compact width, offering a distinctive, editorial look that stands out in branding and headline settings while maintaining a cohesive, modern rhythm.
Diagonal strokes and pointed endings create a lively forward motion, while the digit set matches the same contrast and slant for consistent texture in mixed text. In longer lines, the pronounced stroke modulation becomes a defining feature, especially in italics-heavy settings.
