A slanted, high-contrast sans with tapered strokes and soft, calligraphic modulation that gives the letterforms a drawn, kinetic feel. Curves are broad and open, with generous counters in O/C/G and a single-storey a; terminals are mostly sheared or subtly flared rather than blunt. Ascenders are tall and slender, and the overall construction favors sweeping strokes and rounded joins over rigid geometry, producing an uneven, human rhythm despite consistent proportions. Numerals are similarly fluid, with a curling 2 and 3 and a light, looping 8/9 that echo the text face’s stroke behavior.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where its slanted rhythm and contrast can be appreciated. It works well in branding and packaging for premium or style-oriented themes, and in magazine layouts where a lively, elegant sans can complement photography and whitespace.
The tone is graceful and fashion-forward, balancing modern minimalism with a hint of handwriting. It feels light on the page and slightly dramatic, suited to designs that want sophistication without stiffness.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic-forward, high-contrast sans that reads as modern and stylish while retaining a human, pen-influenced softness. Its open shapes and tapered strokes aim to provide clarity with a distinctive voice for display-led typography.
The italic angle and stroke taper create a strong directional flow across words, and the open apertures help keep longer lines readable at display and subhead sizes. The forms lean more toward elegance than neutrality, with distinctive curves in letters like g, y, and s that add personality.
