A slanted, lightly built sans with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic and clear thick–thin modulation. Forms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and a compact x-height that emphasizes vertical rhythm. Strokes frequently taper into sharp, pointed terminals, and curves show a subtle pen-like swelling that gives the letters a lively, hand-driven flow while remaining largely unadorned. Counters stay relatively open for the width, and the overall spacing reads even though widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph.
This font performs best in headlines, short text blocks, and identity work where its narrow proportions and energetic slant can add momentum without heavy ornament. It’s well suited to editorial titling, boutique branding, packaging, and poster typography, and can work for pull quotes or invitations when generous size and spacing are available.
The tone is elegant and quick, balancing polish with a handwritten spontaneity. It feels sophisticated and slightly dramatic, with a fashion-forward, editorial character rather than a neutral utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary italic voice with pen-influenced contrast—providing an expressive alternative to neutral sans italics while staying clean enough for modern branding and editorial layouts.
Uppercase shapes lean toward simplified, modern constructions (notably in letters like E/F/T) while still retaining soft curvature and tapered finishes. Numerals share the same slanted, drawn quality, with distinctive, flowing forms that suit display settings more than tight tabular work.
