A slanted, sans-serif design with pronounced stroke modulation and tapered terminals. Forms are drawn with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm: round letters show oval stress, while stems and diagonals often narrow to fine points. Counters are open and clean, and curves are generally generous, giving the alphabet a light, flowing texture. Spacing appears moderate, with a consistent forward lean and a slightly variable, hand-drawn-like stroke behavior that stays controlled and even across the set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text where its contrast and slant can add motion and personality—such as magazines, lookbooks, cultural posters, and brand identities. It can work in UI or informational contexts for emphasis (labels, pull quotes, navigational highlights), especially where a sleek, refined voice is desired.
The font reads as modern and stylish, with a refined, energetic tone. Its elegant contrast and quick, brushlike joins evoke a sense of speed and sophistication rather than neutrality. Overall it feels expressive yet polished—more editorial and design-led than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans structure with an italic, calligraphic stroke model, delivering a contemporary typeface that feels both elegant and dynamic. Its tapered terminals and high-contrast rhythm suggest a focus on expressive branding and editorial typography while maintaining clear, recognizable letterforms.
Distinctive details include a looping Q tail that sweeps inside the bowl, single-storey a and g, and numerals that lean and taper with the same calligraphic logic as the letters. The thin hairlines and pointed terminals create a bright, crisp color in display sizes, while small sizes may demand careful use due to the delicacy of the finest strokes.
