A hairline italic with tall, condensed proportions and a graceful, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes sweep with pronounced diagonals and tapered terminals, giving letters a drawn, high‑fashion feel. Several glyphs show intentional breaks and tiny bridges in the thinnest parts of the forms, creating a delicate stencil-like continuity without losing the overall cursive flow. Counters are open and generous for the width, and the figures follow the same slender, looping construction as the letters.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant posters. It can also work well for invitations and titling where a light, airy texture is desired; longer text will typically need generous size and spacing to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its extreme delicacy reads as luxurious and dramatic rather than utilitarian, lending a refined, modern glamour to headlines and short phrases.
Likely designed to blend a couture hairline italic with a subtle stencil construction, balancing fragility with structural continuity. The goal appears to be an expressive, premium display face that delivers drama and sophistication while remaining visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The broken details are subtle and most noticeable where hairlines would otherwise close or become fragile, helping maintain shape clarity while reinforcing the stylized, crafted look. The italic slant and narrow set create strong forward motion, so letterspacing and line length will noticeably affect texture at display sizes.
