A slanted, high-contrast sans with a distinctly calligraphic stress and crisp tapering terminals. Curves are smooth and round with tight joins, while straight strokes stay clean and slightly elastic in feel, creating a lively rhythm across words. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters and clear, uncluttered apertures; the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height and the figures share the same italic, contrasty logic.
Best suited to editorial typography where contrast and slant can add voice—magazine heads, pull quotes, and feature titles. It also works well for branding systems that need a refined, contemporary tone, and for display settings where its dynamic rhythm can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining modern simplicity with a subtle handwritten elegance. It reads as confident and upscale rather than casual, making text feel intentional and styled.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic-forward, fashion-leaning sans that blends geometric roundness with calligraphic contrast, offering a sophisticated alternative to plain oblique styles.
The italics are not merely mechanically slanted; many glyphs show shaped entry/exit strokes and tapered endings that add motion. Round letters (like O/C/G) emphasize smooth, elliptical construction, while diagonals (like V/W/X/Y) feel sharp and energetic without becoming aggressive.
