A very slender, right-leaning italic with smooth, continuous curves and gently tapered terminals. Strokes remain consistently light while showing subtle thick–thin modulation, giving rounded forms a softly calligraphic stress rather than a purely monoline look. Proportions are tall and open, with generous counters and a notably small x-height that lets ascenders and descenders define much of the vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms are streamlined and spacious, and the lowercase maintains a flowing, single-storey feel in key letters, reinforcing a quiet, refined texture in text.
Best suited to display and larger text where its fine strokes and small x-height can remain clear—magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and elegant packaging. It can also work for short passages in editorial layouts when set with comfortable size and leading, especially where a refined italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is graceful and understated, leaning toward a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its lightness and italic motion create a sense of sophistication and forward movement without feeling ornamental or dramatic. The impression is modern and polished, suitable for designs that want subtle elegance rather than loud personality.
Likely intended as a delicate italic for sophisticated typography—prioritizing elegance, openness, and a smooth reading rhythm over sturdiness. The design emphasizes streamlined forms, subtle modulation, and a calm, contemporary tone appropriate for premium or editorial contexts.
The numerals and punctuation follow the same delicate, slightly calligraphic construction, with curved figures that feel more bookish than technical. Spacing appears relatively open for such a light style, helping keep the texture from collapsing at larger display sizes, while the pronounced verticality makes lines feel tall and airy.
