A slanted, high-contrast sans with smooth, elliptical curves and tapered stroke endings. The letterforms lean consistently forward and feel slightly expanded, with generous internal space and a light, open texture. Strokes transition from thin hairlines to fuller diagonals, creating a lively rhythm without heavy terminals; curves are clean and rounded, while joins stay sharp and controlled. Numerals follow the same flowing construction, with italic-style forms and pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine layouts, and brand applications where an elegant italic voice is desired. It works well for display settings—headlines, pull quotes, titles, and short descriptive copy—where its contrast and slant can provide emphasis and a premium feel.
The overall tone is graceful and polished, with a sense of movement that reads as contemporary and sophisticated rather than casual. Its calligraphic stress and airy contrast evoke editorial and fashion contexts, bringing a cultured, slightly dramatic flavor to headlines and short passages.
The font appears designed to deliver an expressive italic style within a clean sans framework, combining modern round geometry with calligraphic stress for a refined, energetic reading experience.
The design emphasizes smooth continuity and speed in the stroke flow, producing a fluid baseline rhythm. At smaller sizes the very thin hairlines may become visually delicate compared with the broader strokes, especially in dense text.
