An italic serif with tapered, subtly flared terminals and small bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. The construction is relatively narrow with a pronounced rightward slant, crisp entry/exit strokes, and moderate thick–thin modulation that stays even across the set. Curves are clean and slightly taut, while joins and terminals often end in sharp, wedge-like points that keep the rhythm lively. Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic, reading as integrated text figures rather than isolated display forms.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book-oriented design where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or section openers. It can also serve in refined branding and packaging, especially where a traditional serif character is desired with extra motion and personality.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial sophistication. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals add urgency and motion, while the serif detailing maintains a polished, literary feel.
Likely designed as a text-forward italic that combines classical serif structure with flared, calligraphic finishing to create a distinctive yet readable texture. The goal appears to be an italic that feels expressive for emphasis while remaining controlled enough for extended setting.
Uppercase forms maintain a disciplined, upright skeleton beneath the slant, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence, especially in letters with long descenders and angled finishing strokes. The punctuation and spacing in the samples suggest it is designed to maintain texture and continuity in running text while still offering enough bite for headings.
