A slanted, high-contrast sans with tapered strokes and smooth, calligraphic modulation. Curves are clean and elliptical, with rounded joins and subtle, sharpened terminals that keep the forms crisp without adding overt ornament. Proportions feel slightly narrow and tall, with open counters and a steady rhythm that stays consistent from capitals to numerals. The lowercase shows gently varied stroke entry/exit behavior, giving the texture a lively, handwritten cadence while remaining controlled and typographic.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine display, fashion and beauty branding, and short-form messaging where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for invitations and premium packaging where a refined, flowing texture is more important than dense long-text economy.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting sophistication and editorial polish. Its airy color and sweeping italic motion read as expressive yet disciplined, projecting a sense of cultivated elegance rather than casual informality.
The design appears aimed at providing an italic-forward, high-contrast sans that bridges modern simplicity with calligraphic motion. It prioritizes a graceful line, clear counters, and a polished rhythm for expressive display typography.
Capitals maintain a restrained, modern silhouette while the lowercase introduces more personality through tapered stems and rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same slanted, modulated logic, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive.
