This typeface is an italic design with a lively rightward slant and a crisp, high-contrast stroke structure. Curves are smooth and rounded, while terminals frequently resolve into sharp, angled cuts that create a swift, pen-like rhythm. Proportions run on the broader side, with open counters and generous internal space helping letters stay clear despite the contrast. The overall texture is energetic and slightly compact in stroke placement, with diagonals and tapering joins giving the outlines a refined, editorial finish.
It works well for editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes—where an italic voice is used to add emphasis and tone. The wider proportions and open counters also support short-to-medium passages at comfortable reading sizes, while the crisp contrast makes it effective for refined headlines and subheads.
The font conveys a poised, literary tone with a sense of speed and emphasis typical of italic typography. Its sharp terminals and contrast add sophistication, making it feel polished and slightly dramatic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a stylish italic companion for text and display settings, prioritizing elegant emphasis and a polished page color. Its combination of rounded construction and sharply cut terminals suggests a goal of balancing readability with a distinctive, editorial personality.
Uppercase forms read as formal and display-leaning, while the lowercase maintains fluidity and readability through open bowls and clear, simplified constructions. Numerals match the italic, high-contrast logic and feel suited to running text where figures need to blend rather than dominate.
