A very slender italic with smooth, continuous curves and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are hairline-thin with gentle modulation, and terminals finish in soft, tapered ends rather than abrupt cuts. Round letters are drawn as clean ovals, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are narrow and sharp, giving the alphabet a light, wiry rhythm. The lowercase is compact and flowing, with single-storey forms where visible, long ascenders, and a slightly calligraphic construction that keeps counters open at text sizes.
Best suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant packaging where a light, stylish italic voice is desired. It can also work for invitations and short-form copy, especially when printed or displayed with sufficient size and contrast.
The overall tone is polished and quietly expressive, combining modern cleanliness with a hint of handwritten grace. Its lightness reads as premium and fashion-leaning, suited to designs that want sophistication without heaviness.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated display italic that blends sans-like simplicity with calligraphic movement. It prioritizes elegance, speed of reading in short passages, and a distinctive, airy texture over robustness in small, low-contrast settings.
Numerals follow the same airy, italic rhythm, with curving figures and fine joints that feel more literary than utilitarian. In the text sample, spacing appears generous and the forms maintain clarity, though the extremely thin strokes make it visually sensitive to size and background contrast.
