A very slender, right-slanted italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a smooth, continuous stroke flow. Forms lean on clean, open curves with generous interior counters and a light overall color, while terminals taper to sharp points or fine hooks rather than blunt endings. The capitals are tall and gently narrow with simplified construction, and the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with long, flowing ascenders/descenders that reinforce a calligraphic rhythm. Numerals and round letters stay delicate and balanced, maintaining a consistent, high-contrast texture across text sizes.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography, pull quotes, and elegant headlines where its contrast and slant can add sophistication. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and invitations when used at comfortable sizes with ample whitespace.
The font reads poised and sophisticated, with a fashion/editorial polish and a calm, airy presence. Its high-contrast strokes and italic movement convey refinement and a sense of motion, leaning more toward luxury and culture than utility.
Likely designed to provide a sleek, contemporary italic voice that feels luxurious and expressive without heavy ornamentation, emphasizing high-contrast finesse and graceful rhythm for display and editorial settings.
The spacing and letterfit appear relatively open for such thin strokes, helping maintain clarity in running text. Curves and joins are kept smooth and understated, favoring a contemporary, minimalist take on an italic rather than overt ornament.
