A delicate, slanted sans with very thin, consistent strokes and a clean, open construction. Curves are smooth and taut, with generous counters in letters like O, e, and a, and a noticeably elliptical, forward-leaning rhythm across the set. Terminals are crisp and uncluttered, and the overall spacing feels measured and calm, helping the hairline strokes stay legible in display sizes. Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined, while lowercase maintains an even, straightforward structure with minimal ornamentation.
Best suited to headlines, short editorial titles, and brand marks where its refined slant and hairline weight can be showcased. It also fits premium packaging, beauty/fashion applications, and formal stationery where a quiet, elegant voice is desired. For longer text, it performs most comfortably at larger sizes with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and understated, combining a fashion-forward elegance with a contemporary editorial feel. Its light touch and pronounced slant create a sense of motion and finesse rather than boldness, reading as premium and polished.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-end italic voice with minimal distraction—prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a smooth, continuous rhythm across letters and numerals.
Figures are slim and graceful, matching the letterforms’ airy texture, and punctuation and dots appear small and restrained. The design’s emphasis on smooth curves and fine strokes makes it especially sensitive to size and background contrast, rewarding generous typesetting and high-quality reproduction.
