A slanted, high-contrast design with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes that create a polished, print-like rhythm. The drawing favors smooth, slightly calligraphic curves and tapered terminals, with clean joins and generous counters that keep forms open at display sizes. Capitals feel streamlined and contemporary, while the lowercase shows more humanist motion—especially in the rounded letters and the single-storey forms—giving the set a lively, italic texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with elegant curves and delicate horizontal strokes.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and slant can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand marks, and campaign posters. It can work for short to medium text blocks in editorial contexts when set with comfortable spacing, but its fine hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-oriented tone: poised, articulate, and a bit dramatic due to its sharp contrast and forward lean. It feels refined and modern rather than rustic, with a cultured voice suited to headlines and sophisticated branding.
The design appears intended to bring high-contrast elegance to a contemporary italic voice, balancing sharp refinement with readable, open forms. It aims to deliver a stylish, editorial texture that feels modern while retaining classical italic influence.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and contrast is used as a primary stylistic feature, producing sparkle in text and a strong black/white interplay. Letterforms maintain a clean, uncluttered silhouette, emphasizing smooth curves and precise, thin finishing strokes.
