This typeface is an italic serif with gently tapered, flared stroke endings and modest contrast between thick and thin strokes. The drawing feels calligraphic: diagonals and curves carry a consistent forward motion, and terminals often finish with a subtle flick rather than a blunt cut. Serifs are small and integrated, reading more as soft brackets and flares than rigid wedges, which keeps the texture smooth in continuous text. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and open internal spaces; round letters are slightly ovalized, reinforcing the slanted rhythm.
It works well for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—book interiors, magazine features, introductions, and pull quotes—providing a refined texture at text sizes and an elegant presence when enlarged for short titles or emphasis.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with a poised, bookish elegance. Its lively, handwritten inflection adds warmth and personality without becoming overly decorative, making it feel traditional yet approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic with calligraphic energy, combining traditional serif structure with softened, flared endings to keep paragraphs smooth and expressive.
The italics show a steady, even cadence across both uppercase and lowercase, and the numerals follow the same slanted, flowing logic as the letters. Stroke endings and entry strokes are consistently tapered, helping maintain a continuous, polished text color.
