An italic serif with gently flared, bracketed stroke endings and smooth, low-contrast modulation. Curves are round and open, with a steady rightward slant and softly tapered terminals that keep the rhythm fluid rather than sharp. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and slightly generous, while the lowercase shows an energetic, humanist ductus; the two-storey “a” and single-storey “g” read clearly, and the numerals follow the same flowing, old-style-leaning construction. Overall spacing appears even, producing a clean text color without looking rigid.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italic voice is needed—emphasis, quotes, captions, and introductions—especially in books and magazines. The distinctive flared details also make it effective for refined packaging, cultural branding, and formal stationery when used at comfortable text and display sizes.
The tone is bookish and cultured, with a warm, handwritten undercurrent. It feels traditional and trustworthy, yet lively enough to suggest craft and personality rather than pure formality.
Likely designed to provide a legible, text-friendly italic with classical serif cues and a subtle calligraphic flavor. The goal appears to be an italic that carries elegance and warmth while keeping a consistent, readable texture across mixed text and numerals.
The serif treatment is more flared and tapered than sharply wedged, giving joins and terminals a soft, calligraphic finish. In continuous text, the italic angle and rounded counters help maintain readability while adding a gentle sense of motion.
