A slanted serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that read as chiseled rather than sharp. Strokes show moderate contrast with a calligraphic rhythm, and many terminals finish in gentle wedges or tapered points, giving the outlines a lively, slightly hand-influenced texture. The proportions feel traditional and bookish, with rounded forms that stay open and readable, and capitals that are steady and formal without looking rigid. Numerals appear oldstyle in construction, with varied heights and a flowing, text-friendly presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and any design needing a traditional serif voice with extra warmth and motion. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefit from a classic, crafted feel, especially where the italic character is intended to be part of the primary tone rather than occasional emphasis.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed pages, editorial craft, and a quietly expressive elegance. The flare and tapering add warmth and movement, keeping the italic energy present without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend familiar oldstyle readability with a more expressive, flared finishing language, producing an italic serif that feels rooted in tradition while remaining visually distinctive in running text.
The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the flared endings are a defining motif that repeats on both straight stems and curved strokes, creating a cohesive, slightly sculpted silhouette in words and lines of text.
