This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast sans with smooth, rounded-rectangle curves and sharpened joins that create a lively, tapered rhythm. Strokes transition from thick verticals to thinner horizontals, giving letters a refined, slightly calligraphic feel while remaining clearly constructed rather than handwritten. Counters are generally open and clean, with compact apertures and rounded terminals that keep forms polished. Uppercase proportions feel tall and assertive, while the lowercase shows a contemporary, streamlined build with a single-storey a and g and a distinctive, descending j.
It’s well suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial text where an italic voice is desired as the primary style. The crisp contrast and forward slant also make it a strong option for branding, packaging, and campaign work that aims for a sleek, contemporary tone.
The overall tone is fashion-forward and editorial, balancing sophistication with speed and motion from the strong slant. It reads as confident and contemporary, with a slightly dramatic edge coming from the contrast and tight, sculpted curves.
The design appears intended to provide an italic-first, modern sans expression that feels premium and dynamic, using high contrast and superellipse-like rounding to deliver a distinctive texture while maintaining clean, readable construction.
The numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, with clear differentiation and a modern, stylized silhouette (notably the angled 1 and open, rounded bowls in 6/8/9). The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing an energetic texture in text without becoming overly ornate.
