A delicate italic with pronounced stroke contrast and a consistently right-leaning slant. Curves are smooth and open, while joins and terminals taper to fine points, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Uppercase forms are narrow and stately with generous inner counters, and the lowercase shows a more calligraphic construction—single-storey a and g, long extenders, and a thin, blade-like entry/exit treatment. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with distinctive curves and tapered ends that keep the texture light on the page.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, pull quotes, and elegant invitations. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes where its thin strokes and contrast remain clear, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital environments.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, leaning toward modern luxury rather than casual warmth. The thin hairlines and sharp terminals add a sense of precision and exclusivity, giving text a poised, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, modern italic voice with a luxurious, calligraphic edge—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and refined motion in the letterforms.
In running text the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a bright, shimmering color that rewards larger sizes and ample spacing. The letterforms maintain a consistent slanted axis, and the pointed terminals and slim diagonals (notably in V/W/X-style shapes) emphasize speed and elegance over robustness.
