An italic serif with calligraphic construction and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden as they meet the terminals and serifs. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and feet stay crisp, creating a clear rhythm without looking overly sharp. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a steady rightward slant; capitals are slightly narrower and more sculpted than the lowercase, helping the text maintain an elegant, paced texture. Numerals and punctuation follow the same flowing, tapered logic, keeping the overall color even in continuous reading.
Well suited to editorial settings such as book typography, magazine features, essays, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also works effectively for pull quotes, subtitles, and formal correspondence or invitations that benefit from a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is literary and poised, with a classical italic flavor that suggests tradition, fluency, and cultivated confidence. It reads as refined rather than ornate, offering a dignified voice that still feels warm and human due to its calligraphic movement.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic reading experience with a subtle flared finish—bridging calligraphic origins and contemporary consistency—so it can function comfortably in extended text while still providing a distinct, elegant personality.
Stroke modulation is noticeable but controlled, with thicker verticals and thinning through curves and diagonals, giving words a gently dynamic sparkle at text sizes. Terminals often finish with a slight lift or wedge-like flare, reinforcing the handwritten italic character while remaining disciplined and consistent across the set.
