A very thin, slanted sans with smooth, continuous curves and a lightly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes are predominantly monolinear with subtle contrast at joins and curves, giving forms a crisp, drawn quality rather than a rigid geometric build. Proportions are compact and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and generous internal space in round letters; terminals tend to taper or finish cleanly, keeping the silhouette light. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised, while lowercase maintains open apertures and a consistent forward-leaning flow.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes can remain crisp—such as fashion and beauty branding, invitations, lookbooks, short headlines, and refined poster typography. It can work for brief editorial pull quotes or captions when set large and given ample tracking and leading, but it is less suited to dense small-size text.
The overall tone is refined and understated, with a fashion-forward, sketchlike elegance. Its thin strokes and steady slant convey sophistication and lightness rather than authority, reading more like a delicate signature than a utilitarian text face.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice with minimal stroke weight, combining clean sans construction with a hand-drawn, linear sensibility. It prioritizes graceful motion, light texture, and a contemporary, premium feel in short-form typography.
The figures follow the same airy, linear construction as the letters, and the italic angle is consistent across the set, producing a unified, fast-moving texture in words. The thin stroke weight makes spacing and background (negative space) a major part of the visual impression, especially in longer lines.
