A slanted, high-contrast sans with a sleek, drawn quality. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and sharp joins, creating a crisp, polished rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow-leaning with generous counters; curves are smooth and elliptical, while diagonals feel taut and precise. Lowercase keeps a clean, simplified construction with a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and brisk entry/exit strokes that reinforce the italic flow. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with open shapes and clean, contemporary contours.
Well-suited to editorial typography, fashion and lifestyle branding, and headline settings where contrast and slant can provide energy and sophistication. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes, subheads, and product names, especially in clean layouts with ample spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, combining modern clarity with a hint of calligraphic flair. It reads as refined and intentional rather than casual, projecting an upscale, editorial voice. The strong contrast and forward motion add drama and speed, suitable for polished, high-end communication.
Likely designed to deliver a modern italic voice with elevated contrast and smooth, geometric curves, balancing sans simplicity with a refined, display-leaning presence. The consistent slant and tapered detailing suggest an emphasis on stylish emphasis and dynamic hierarchy in contemporary design systems.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a cohesive forward momentum. Contrast is most noticeable in curved letters and diagonals, where hairlines stay very thin and the heavy strokes remain clean and steady, contributing to a sharp, print-oriented look.
