This italic serif has a calligraphic construction with gently tapered strokes and subtle thick–thin modulation. Serifs are present but soften into flared, wedge-like terminals rather than crisp hairlines, giving the outlines a sculpted, brushed quality. The letterforms lean consistently with an even, bookish rhythm; curves are smooth and slightly expanded, and joins feel organic rather than mechanical. Capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase shows lively motion with distinct descenders and clear, open counters that keep the texture readable in continuous text.
It performs well for editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book-like layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or narrative tone. The distinctive, flared terminals also make it a strong choice for refined branding, packaging copy, pull quotes, and display lines that benefit from a classic yet lively italic texture.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with the poise of traditional book typography and a hint of handwritten elegance. It reads as confident and formal without feeling stiff, making it suitable for settings that want warmth alongside authority.
The design appears intended to provide a traditionally rooted italic with a more sculpted, flared finishing, balancing legibility with expressive movement. It aims to evoke classic serif sophistication while maintaining a smooth, contemporary consistency across letters and numerals.
The numerals follow the same italic slant and tapered finishing, staying visually integrated with the text. Stroke endings often resolve into small wedges, and the contrast remains controlled, producing a smooth, even color in paragraphs while still delivering classic serif character in headlines.
