This typeface is a serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic construction: strokes swell and taper with an organic pen-like rhythm, and many terminals open into subtle flares rather than ending bluntly. Serifs are small and gently bracketed, with wedge-like entry/exit strokes that reinforce the flowing movement. Curves are generous and open, proportions feel moderately compact, and the slant is consistent without becoming overly cursive. Numerals and capitals maintain the same tapered, flared logic, giving the set a cohesive, bookish texture in text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine features, pull quotes, and refined brand collateral where an italic voice is meant to carry emphasis with sophistication. It can also serve well in book-jacket typography and formal invitations where a classic, calligraphic serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and cultivated taste. Its lively italic motion adds warmth and personality, making it feel more expressive than a purely formal text face while still remaining restrained and classical.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of an old-style, pen-influenced italic—combining readable text proportions with expressive flared terminals to deliver a refined, traditional voice for display and emphasized passages.
The italic forms show clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes, with graceful joins and a slightly handwritten cadence. Round letters (like O/Q and o/e) read cleanly with open apertures, and the overall color stays even despite the calligraphic modulation.
