A slanted sans with smooth, continuous curves and subtly tapered stroke endings that give letters a drawn, calligraphic feel without obvious serifs. Proportions are fairly narrow and upright in structure despite the italic angle, with open apertures and rounded bowls that stay clean at text sizes. The capitals are simple and classical in construction, while the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a gently hooked f, and a long, fluid y and j that add rhythm. Numerals follow the same restrained, rounded logic, with a clear 0 and softly curving 2 and 3.
Well-suited for editorial typography, magazine-style headlines, and brand identities that want a sleek italic voice. It can also work for packaging and promotional graphics where a modern, refined tone and a sense of motion are desirable.
The overall tone is polished and contemporary, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication rather than technical neutrality. Its slant and tapered terminals introduce warmth and motion, suggesting speed, ease, and a refined personal touch.
The design appears intended to deliver a stylish italic companion with clean sans construction, adding a hint of calligraphic nuance through tapered terminals and flowing lowercase forms. It aims for a balance of readability and sophistication, with enough personality for display use while maintaining an even text color in longer settings.
Letterspacing appears comfortable and the forms keep a consistent forward momentum across words, producing an even texture in paragraphs. The contrast is noticeable but controlled, helping the shapes feel crisp while remaining smooth and readable.
