This is an italic serif with a fluid, calligraphic construction and clearly flared stroke endings that resolve into small wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a noticeable but not extreme contrast, with diagonal stress visible in round forms and a tapered, pen-driven feel in joins and terminals. The slant is consistent and moderately steep, giving letters forward motion while keeping counters open and proportions balanced. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow with sharp apexes and gently curving bowls, while the lowercase has a compact rhythm and clean, readable shapes; numerals follow the same italic cadence with smooth curves and tapered entry/exit strokes.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, introductions, and pull quotes where an italic voice needs to remain readable while adding elegance. It can also work well for refined branding elements—names, taglines, invitations, and cultural or academic materials—where a classic, crafted tone is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition and craft rather than display flamboyance. Its forward-leaning posture and crisp finishing strokes add a sense of motion and sophistication, making it feel confident, cultivated, and slightly formal.
The font appears intended to provide an italic serif with a traditional, pen-influenced flavor—balancing graceful calligraphic movement with disciplined, text-ready shapes. Its flared stroke endings and controlled contrast aim to deliver a sophisticated italic voice that feels timeless and polished in running copy and display sizes alike.
The design maintains a steady baseline rhythm and consistent slanted axis across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps long passages feel cohesive. Terminals and serifs tend to finish in tapered wedges rather than blunt cuts, reinforcing the flared, pen-informed character.
