A very slender italic with a consistent rightward shear and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay hairline-like with subtle thick–thin modulation, producing crisp joins and tapered terminals rather than blunt endings. Counters are open and rounded, and the overall rhythm is flowing and lightly calligraphic without overt ornamentation. Uppercase forms feel tall and streamlined, while the lowercase shows a calm, book-italic structure with modest extenders and an understated, legible texture in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, fashion and lifestyle branding, and other applications that benefit from an elegant italic voice. It works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, short passages, and refined display settings where its thin strokes and flowing rhythm can be appreciated.
The font conveys a quiet sophistication—light on its feet, polished, and slightly formal. Its italic movement reads as expressive but controlled, giving a sense of editorial finesse and cultured restraint rather than casual informality.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, minimal italic with a calligraphic undertone—prioritizing elegance, speed of movement, and a clean, contemporary silhouette for premium display and editorial use.
Letterforms maintain generous interior space relative to the thin strokes, which helps the face stay clear despite its delicacy. Numerals and capitals share the same graceful slant and fine finishing, supporting a cohesive typographic color in mixed text.
