A hairline italic with dramatic thick–thin modulation and long, tapering terminals. The forms are built from smooth, oval-driven curves with a consistent rightward slant and a light, quick rhythm. Counters are open and generously shaped, while strokes often resolve into needle-like tips that emphasize motion. Uppercase proportions feel tall and poised, and the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable structure with gently flowing joins and restrained detailing.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial, luxury branding, and elegant headlines where its fine strokes can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes, invitations, and high-end packaging copy when set at comfortable sizes with generous leading. For longer passages, it performs best in large-format or high-resolution contexts where hairline details won’t disappear.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a graceful, high-fashion sensibility. Its thin strokes and sharp tapers create a sense of precision and finesse, leaning more toward sophistication than warmth. The italic movement adds a dynamic, expressive character without becoming ornate or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, refined italic voice that feels premium and expressive while remaining clean and controlled. Its emphasis on contrast, tapering terminals, and oval-driven construction suggests an aim toward sophisticated display typography with an editorial finish.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved figures showing pronounced contrast and crisp, pointed terminals; the "1" is notably slender and the "2" and "3" emphasize sweeping curves. In text settings, the spacing reads airy and the texture stays light, so it benefits from ample size and careful contrast against the background.
