A delicate italic with hairline strokes and pronounced contrast between thickened verticals and near-threadlike connecting curves. Letterforms lean steadily to the right with smooth, elliptical bowls and long, tapered terminals that often finish in sharp points. Curves are drawn with a light, continuous rhythm, while straighter strokes (notably in forms like E, F, L, T, and Z) stay crisp and minimal. Spacing feels open and the overall color on the page is bright, with a refined, high-fashion texture rather than a dense text face.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and contrast can be preserved: magazine headlines, luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, event materials, and elegant pull quotes. It performs well when given ample size, leading, and clean printing or high-resolution screens.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, with a quiet luxury feel driven by its whisper-thin strokes and poised slant. It reads as modern and editorial, suggesting elegance and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary italic voice with couture-like refinement—prioritizing fluid curves, sharp terminals, and a luminous page texture for high-end display typography.
Uppercase forms show generous, rounded proportions with slender joins, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, cursive-like flow without becoming fully script. Numerals match the lightness and contrast, with curved figures featuring fine, sweeping entry and exit strokes that reinforce the font’s graceful motion.
