A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and gently modulated strokes. Stems and main strokes broaden into subtly flared, wedge-like endings, while serifs are bracketed and integrated rather than sharply rectangular. Curves show an oblique stress and a slightly tapered, pen-driven feel, giving counters an organic, oval rhythm. Proportions lean moderately narrow with lively spacing and a consistent italic angle; capitals are elegant and open, and lowercase forms show soft joins and rounded shoulders with clear, readable shapes.
Well suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, headlines, or pull quotes. It also fits literary branding, cultural institutions, and premium packaging where a classic serif texture with expressive motion can add character without becoming ornamental.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, with a graceful, slightly dramatic slant that feels traditional rather than trendy. It conveys refinement and warmth, suggesting editorial sophistication and a quiet sense of authority.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic with visible pen influence and flared stroke endings, balancing classic serif formality with a more handwritten, dynamic cadence for expressive text setting.
The italic forms are clearly designed as true italics rather than merely slanted romans, with distinctive cursive-like lowercase structures and fluid diagonals. Numerals and capitals maintain the same flared finishing and stroke logic, keeping the set visually cohesive in text.
