A very slender, high-contrast italic with clean, serifless terminals and a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic. Forms lean consistently with long, continuous curves and taut straight segments, creating a smooth, flowing baseline rhythm. Counters are open and round, with oval “O”/“0” shapes and softly tapered joins; diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X read sharp and precise. The lowercase shows delicate ascenders and descenders, a single-storey a, and a looped g, all drawn with restrained detailing and ample white space.
Well-suited to fashion and lifestyle headlines, magazine decks, and premium branding where a delicate, stylish italic voice is desired. It can also work for posters, invitations, and packaging when used at larger sizes or with comfortable tracking to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is refined and modern, with a runway/editorial elegance that feels light, polished, and slightly dramatic. Its thin hairlines and steep slant convey sophistication and a sense of motion, leaning toward luxury and high-end minimalism rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, minimalist italic with a calligraphic flavor—prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and high-contrast refinement for display and editorial settings.
Spacing appears generous and the narrow strokes make letterforms feel airy at display sizes. Numerals follow the same slender, curved construction, with smooth bowls and subtle stroke modulation that keeps the set cohesive in text.
