A slanted roman with pronounced stroke contrast and smooth, rounded construction throughout. The design favors broad, open forms with generous apertures and counters, giving letters a spacious, uncluttered feel. Curves are clean and continuous, while joins and terminals stay crisp rather than bracketed, producing a polished, contemporary rhythm. Uppercase proportions read wide and stable, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with clear, elegant silhouettes.
This font is well suited to editorial typography—magazines, lookbooks, and cultural publications—where contrast and slant can add character at larger sizes. It can also support brand identities and packaging that call for a modern, refined voice, and it performs well in short to medium-length passages where its airy spacing and open shapes help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, combining a modern, editorial sharpness with an energetic italic movement. Its contrast and slant add a sense of luxury and forward motion without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary italic voice with elevated contrast and wide, open geometry, balancing readability with a distinctly editorial presence. It aims to feel sleek and current while retaining classical italic energy through controlled stress and carefully shaped curves.
Diagonal characters like V, W, X, and Y appear especially strong and graphic, while round letters maintain a consistent, circular logic. The contrast is most noticeable where thin horizontals and hairlines meet heavier stems, creating a lively texture in longer text lines.
