A very slender italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapering terminals. Strokes feel drawn with a pointed pen: curves swell gently and then pinch into needle-like ends, giving letters a crisp, tensile rhythm. Capitals are narrow and poised with long diagonals and open counters, while lowercase forms stay compact with smooth bowls, a single-storey “g,” and a looped “y.” Figures are similarly fine and curvilinear, with graceful arcs and light touch throughout.
Best suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant subheads where its contrast and fine details can shine. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and formal invitations; at smaller sizes or low-resolution output, the hairline strokes may require careful use and sufficient size.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting sophistication through restraint and sharp contrast. Its slanted, calligraphic energy adds a sense of motion and finesse, reading as cultured, luxurious, and fashion-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, refined italic voice with strong calligraphic contrast—prioritizing elegance, speed of gesture, and a light, premium texture for display-driven typography.
Spacing appears on the open side, helping the thin strokes breathe, while the high contrast makes joins and curves feel especially crisp. The italics are consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a unified, graceful texture in text.
