A very slender, sharply slanted italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, clean curves. Strokes taper to needle-like terminals, producing crisp joins and a light, floating texture. Capitals are narrow and tall with restrained, mostly unbracketed finishing, while round letters show smooth, elliptical bowls and open counters. Numerals echo the same hairline contrast and sweep, with graceful curves and minimal ornamentation.
Best suited to display and short-form typography where its hairline strokes and strong contrast can breathe—magazine features, brand marks, lookbooks, packaging, and elegant invitations. In longer passages it can work for pull quotes or large-size editorial setting, but benefits from ample size and comfortable leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is poised and fashion-forward, pairing a quiet luxury feel with a contemporary, minimalist restraint. Its high-contrast rhythm reads as sophisticated and expressive rather than utilitarian, giving text a refined, slightly dramatic cadence.
Likely designed to deliver an ultra-light, high-fashion italic voice with clean modern construction—more about refined atmosphere and typographic personality than robust small-size readability.
Spacing appears generous for such a delicate design, helping prevent strokes from visually clumping in running text. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and several forms use subtle entry/exit strokes that add a gentle handwritten nuance without becoming script-like.
