A sturdy italic serif with generous curves and a slightly flowing, calligraphic stress. The serifs are clearly bracketed and tend toward wedge-like shapes, with softened joins that keep the texture cohesive at text sizes. Round letters show open counters and smooth, oval bowls, while several lowercase forms include ball terminals and hooked finishing strokes that add a lively rhythm. Numerals are robust and readable with old-style influences in their asymmetry and curvature, matching the overall slanted, editorial tone.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, introductions, and quoted material, and it can also serve as a flavorful primary face for headlines or short-form display. Its sturdy construction and open shapes support comfortable reading in paragraphs, especially in print-like layouts and magazine styling.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an energetic italic voice that reads as confident rather than delicate. Its softened terminals and rounded forms add warmth, while the firm weight and steady rhythm keep it authoritative and familiar.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with an expressive italic character—combining familiar book typography cues with enough gesture and terminal detail to stand out in editorial contexts.
The uppercase has a restrained, book-seriffed presence, while the lowercase carries more personality through curving entry/exit strokes and pronounced terminals, creating a clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Spacing appears comfortable and even, supporting continuous reading in longer passages while still giving headings a distinctive italic presence.
