A sharply slanted italic with a calligraphic, pen-like construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into fine points, with crisp terminals and subtle, bracket-like joins that give curves a sculpted feel. Uppercase forms are narrow and energetic with flowing diagonals, while the lowercase shows compact bowls, a single-storey a, and a long, descending j that reinforce a continuous cursive rhythm. Numerals are similarly stylized, with graceful curves and hairline entry/exit strokes that keep the texture light and airy at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also work for branding, packaging, invitations, and book covers that benefit from a refined, calligraphic texture, especially when set with generous size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing formality with motion. It reads as sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a literary, editorial flavor rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic look with modern crispness—prioritizing graceful motion, high-contrast sparkle, and a cultivated editorial presence over neutral, everyday text utility.
Because many strokes resolve into hairlines and the italic angle is strong, the face favors larger sizes where its contrast and tapered details remain clear. Spacing appears relatively open for an italic, supporting a smooth line flow in short to medium passages.
