A very slender italic with a monoline, hairline stroke and crisp, unbracketed slab terminals that read as small horizontal caps on many stems. Letterforms are built from clean, geometric curves and long, tapered diagonals, with a pronounced forward slant and generous internal counters. The rhythm is light and open, with smooth joins and restrained detailing; curves stay circular and refined while straight strokes keep a consistent thinness. Numerals and capitals share the same delicate, airy construction, giving text a refined, slightly calligraphic texture without visible stroke modulation.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and premium packaging where a light, graceful italic can carry tone and hierarchy. It also works for short editorial text at larger sizes, especially when paired with a sturdier roman for body copy.
The overall tone is understated and sophisticated, projecting a quiet elegance rather than emphasis or impact. Its strong italic movement adds a fashionable, editorial feel, while the hairline construction keeps the voice soft and upscale.
The font appears designed to deliver an ultra-refined italic voice that blends modern geometry with understated slab terminals, prioritizing elegance, whitespace, and forward motion. Its consistent hairline drawing suggests an intention for high-end display settings where delicacy is a feature, not a limitation.
The design leans on long extenders and narrow entry/exit shapes that enhance the sense of motion; at smaller sizes the extremely thin strokes may need careful reproduction and sufficient contrast for comfortable reading. The slab-like terminals provide a subtle structural anchor that keeps the style from feeling purely script-like.
