A very delicate, high-contrast italic with hairline thins and sharper, tapered terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm while retaining crisp, modern edges, and the overall spacing feels open and breathable. Capitals are narrow and stately, with long, clean diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X) and restrained, minimal serifs; round letters show thin, precise curves with tight entry/exit strokes. Several glyphs feature intentional breaks that read as small stencil-like bridges, giving the otherwise continuous strokes a subtly segmented, constructed quality.
Best suited to display settings where its fine detail and contrast can be appreciated: magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and poster headlines. It can also work for short pull quotes or high-end invitations when set with generous size and spacing.
The font conveys a refined, fashion-forward tone—light, poised, and slightly theatrical. Its combination of razor-thin detailing and selective stroke interruptions adds a contemporary, design-conscious edge, suggesting luxury and curated sophistication rather than everyday neutrality.
Likely designed to merge the elegance of classic high-contrast italics with a modern, constructed twist, using deliberate stroke breaks to introduce thematic distinctiveness. The goal appears to be striking display typography that feels luxurious and contemporary while remaining relatively clean and legible in short runs.
Figures follow the same hairline-and-stress logic, with notably slender 1 and a sweeping, sculptural 2 and 3. In text, the italic slant and high contrast create lively texture and sparkle at larger sizes, while the broken strokes add distinctive character without overwhelming the silhouette.
