This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic axis and sharp, tapered joins. Vertical strokes swell and then taper into flared, bracketed serif endings, while hairlines stay extremely thin, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm. The italic slant is assertive and consistent, with narrow apertures, compact bowls, and lively, slightly variable letter widths that keep the texture animated. Numerals and capitals show sculpted terminals and strong modulation, matching the dramatic stroke contrast of the lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and high-end branding where contrast and motion are assets. It can also work for short bursts of text (captions, subheads, invitations) when set with generous size and spacing to protect the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics evoke fashion, luxury, and classic print typography rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious italic voice with dramatic contrast and flared serif shaping, prioritizing sophistication and expressive rhythm for editorial and brand-led typography.
Several lowercase forms feature energetic entry/exit strokes and extended tails (notably in letters like j, y, and g), which adds movement and a slightly theatrical finish in headlines. The thin hairlines suggest it will benefit from sufficient size and clean reproduction to preserve detail.
