A slanted, contrasted sans with a calligraphic feel, defined by tapered terminals and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes transition from hairline-like thins to firmer mains, producing a lively diagonal rhythm and a slightly variable, hand-guided texture in text. Counters are open and rounded, with a relatively tall presence in the lowercase and long, clean extenders; joins stay sharp and controlled rather than soft or brushy. Figures share the same italicized, drawn quality, with simple, elegant forms that lean consistently with the alphabet.
Best suited to display-driven settings where its slanted motion and stroke modulation can be appreciated—magazine headlines, brand wordmarks, fashion and beauty layouts, and premium packaging. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when set with generous spacing and comfortable sizes to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, balancing minimalism with a subtle handwritten elegance. It reads as modern and stylish, with a boutique/editorial character that feels premium rather than utilitarian.
Likely intended to deliver an italic-forward, contemporary sans voice with a refined, calligraphy-informed contrast—providing a distinctive alternative to straightforward oblique styles while staying clean and modern.
The letterforms rely on terminal shaping more than serifs for character, and the contrast is expressed through gentle modulation and pointed stroke endings. In continuous text the slant and tapering create a fast, graceful cadence that emphasizes flow over rigid geometric regularity.
