A slender, right-leaning text face with crisp, high-contrast strokes and smooth, elliptical curves. Letterforms are built from clean, continuous outlines with pointed joins and tapered terminals, giving many shapes a drawn, pen-like finish. Counters are open and generous for the width, with lively diagonals and a slightly elastic rhythm that makes the texture feel dynamic rather than rigid. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a looped g with a prominent ear, and a narrow, flowing s; figures are thin and stylized with airy bowls and light top strokes.
Best suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant subheads where its contrast and slanted rhythm can shine. It also fits fashion branding, event materials, invitations, and other premium display settings that benefit from a refined, calligraphic texture. Use with adequate size and spacing to preserve its thin hairlines and crisp joins.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its sharp contrast and graceful slant suggest sophistication and speed, reading as more expressive than utilitarian. The voice leans toward fashion and literature—polished, cultured, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, modern text voice with a calligraphic edge—combining clean, serifless construction with pronounced contrast and expressive italic forms. It aims to create a high-end, editorial texture that feels fluid and distinctive without relying on overt ornament.
Capitals have a tall, statuesque presence with minimal detailing, relying on contrast and curvature for character. The italics are integral to the design rather than a simple slant, with many forms showing true cursive modulation and elegant entry/exit strokes. At smaller sizes the delicate hairlines and tight inner details (notably in S, g, and 2/3) may require thoughtful sizing and color control.
