A slanted, high-contrast design with smooth, elliptical curves and tapered joins that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes are generally thin with pronounced thick–thin modulation, and counters are open and clean, giving the forms a light, airy presence. The uppercase shows rounded bowls and softly drawn terminals, while the lowercase maintains a consistent forward lean with compact, flowing shapes and a gently structured baseline feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and curvature, reading as elegant rather than strictly utilitarian.
Well suited to editorial typography where a stylish italic voice is needed for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and subheads. It can also serve upscale branding and packaging, especially for fashion, lifestyle, and cultural contexts where an elegant, modern tone is desired. At larger sizes it reads as distinctive and expressive; in shorter text it can function as a refined emphasis style.
The overall tone is sophisticated and contemporary, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its forward slant and contrast add a sense of motion and finesse, suggesting a confident, cultivated voice rather than a neutral one.
Likely intended as an elegant italic companion or primary display italic that brings contrast, movement, and contemporary refinement to layouts. The design emphasizes smooth curvature and a controlled calligraphic flow to deliver a polished, premium typographic color.
The texture in text is relatively light and spacious, with a graceful diagonal emphasis that becomes more apparent in longer passages. Curves dominate the construction, and the stroke endings remain clean and understated, keeping the look refined and uncluttered.
