An italic serif with a smooth, calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. Curves are broad and open, with moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes and a consistent diagonal stress. Serifs read as tapered and slightly bracketed rather than sharply cut, helping the joins and terminals feel continuous. Proportions are balanced with a normal x-height, roomy counters, and an even rhythm; capitals are poised and slightly narrower in feel, while the lowercase shows more width variation and lively entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also fits pull quotes, titles, and refined branding that benefits from a classic, serif-italic personality.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, suggesting bookish elegance rather than overt display. Its slant and tapered finishing give it a warm, human touch, while the disciplined contrast and proportions keep it authoritative and formal.
The design appears intended to provide a versatile italic serif that blends traditional, calligraphy-informed shapes with a controlled, contemporary text rhythm. The flared terminals and moderated contrast aim to keep pages lively and graceful while remaining practical for continuous reading.
The figures follow the same italic, flared logic as the letters, with smooth curves and clear differentiation between forms. The design maintains consistent texture in running text, with strong readability aided by open bowls and restrained ornamentation.
