A delicate italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered terminals. Letterforms are built from smooth, open curves and slender stems, with a consistent forward slant and a light overall color on the page. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins stay clean and sharp, giving a crisp rhythm even at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and minimal, hairline-like details.
Best suited to display sizes where the high contrast and fine terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant packaging. It can also work for short editorial blurbs, pull quotes, and invitation-style typography where a light, sophisticated voice is desired.
The typeface reads poised and upscale, with a graceful, editorial tone. Its airy strokes and controlled contrast suggest sophistication and restraint rather than neutrality or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxurious italic voice with strong contrast and minimal ornamentation, balancing smooth geometric curves with calligraphic tapering for a polished, high-end look.
Uppercase forms feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase leans more fluid and calligraphic, creating a pleasing contrast between formal capitals and livelier text. The italic angle is steady across the set, and many strokes finish in fine points that emphasize its refined character.
