A slender, sharply slanted sans with pronounced stroke modulation and clean, open counters. Curves are drawn with a taut, elliptical feel, while joins and terminals stay crisp and minimally treated, keeping the texture smooth and uncluttered. The uppercase reads tall and streamlined, and the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with lightly tapered stems, compact bowls, and a generally restrained, polished silhouette.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand-driven typography where a sleek, high-style impression is desired. It can also work for short blocks of text in print or digital when set with ample size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, leaning toward a contemporary editorial look. Its steep slant and fine strokes give it a sense of motion and sophistication, with a calm, curated presence rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, fashion-forward italic voice with refined contrast and a streamlined sans structure. It prioritizes elegance, pace, and a polished surface texture for display and editorial settings.
The figures follow the same graceful slant and modulation as the letters, with a particularly fluid ‘2’ and ‘9’ and a clean, minimal ‘1’. In text, the spacing and consistent diagonal stress create an even, silky color that suits large sizes and generous leading.
