A very slender, right-slanted sans with crisp, high-contrast strokes that taper to fine points at joins and terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded bowls and long, sweeping diagonals that create a light, continuous rhythm across words. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, generous counters, and a calm, even spacing that keeps the thin letterforms readable at display sizes.
Best suited to fashion and beauty branding, editorial headlines, lookbooks, invitations, and elegant packaging where a light, high-contrast italic can shine. It works especially well in larger sizes, where the fine stroke work and smooth curves remain clear and intentional.
The font conveys a refined, fashion-forward tone—light, polished, and quietly dramatic. Its delicate strokes and italic flow suggest sophistication and restraint rather than boldness, lending a contemporary luxury feel.
The design appears intended to provide a minimalist, high-end italic voice that feels modern and refined while staying cleanly sans in its overall construction. It prioritizes elegance, motion, and whitespace to create a sophisticated display texture.
Distinctive thin terminals and sharp internal angles add sparkle without turning into overt ornament. The numerals and capitals maintain the same airy construction, with ample white space and a consistent slanted stress that supports a cohesive, graceful texture in text lines.
