A delicate, right-leaning italic with hairline strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and elliptical, with a clean, open construction and generous sidebearings that give the letters a spacious rhythm. Terminals are sharp and tapered rather than blunt, and joins feel drawn with a pointed pen, producing crisp diagonals and fine entry/exit strokes. Uppercase forms are tall and poised, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and relies on long, flowing strokes for presence; numerals follow the same refined contrast with elegant curves.
Best used for headlines, magazine and lookbook typography, brand marks, and premium packaging where its contrast and spacious rhythm can be appreciated. It also works well for short display lines or pull quotes, especially when set large with ample whitespace.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, reading as fashion-forward and editorial. Its lightness and sculpted contrast create a quiet drama—more sophisticated and airy than forceful—suited to high-end, contemporary settings.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display italic that prioritizes elegance and motion through extreme stroke contrast and tapered terminals. It aims to deliver a refined, fashion-oriented voice while keeping letterforms clean and uncluttered.
The slant and thin hairlines make the face feel fast and fluid, with strong emphasis on diagonal movement in letters like K, V, W, X, and the sweeping forms of S and g. At smaller sizes the finest strokes may appear fragile, so it visually rewards larger setting and generous leading.
