This typeface is a serif italic with sculpted, flared stroke endings and softly bracketed wedges rather than crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with a calligraphic feel, and curves are generously rounded, giving letters a smooth, slightly swashy rhythm. The italic construction is consistent across capitals and lowercase, with a steady rightward slant, compact joins, and lively terminals on characters like a, f, y, and z. Numerals follow the same italicized, tapered logic, with open counters and clear, sturdy silhouettes.
It suits editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed with presence and warmth. It can also work well for refined branding, cultural institutions, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a classic, crafted serif italic.
The overall tone is classic and literary, leaning toward an old-world elegance without feeling overly formal. Its warm flare and calligraphic modulation suggest tradition, craft, and a composed editorial voice.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif italic with distinctive flared terminals that adds character and movement while staying readable in continuous text. It emphasizes a calligraphic, human touch and a cohesive, elegant texture across letters and figures.
Caps read strong and stable with broad internal shapes, while lowercase maintains a continuous, flowing texture that holds together well in paragraphs. The design favors smooth transitions and tapered endings, creating a dynamic line of text that feels energetic yet controlled.
