A serif italic with gently flared stroke endings and crisp bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically cut. The design shows a moderate diagonal stress and a steady, medium contrast between thick and thin, with smooth joins and tapered terminals that keep forms lively. Capitals are slightly wide and poised, with sharp internal corners and subtle flare at the ends of stems; lowercase forms maintain an even rhythm with a compact, readable x-height and clear differentiation between rounds and stems. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with open bowls and tapered strokes that match the text color of the letters.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, section leads, or pull quotes. It can also work effectively for refined branding, packaging, and invitations, especially when set at medium to large sizes where the flared details and tapered terminals read clearly.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking editorial typography and old-style printing with an energetic italic slant. Its flared endings and calligraphic modulation add warmth and a touch of formality, making the texture feel refined without becoming brittle.
Likely intended as a versatile italic that blends classical serif proportions with subtly flared, calligraphic stroke endings to create a distinctive yet familiar text color. The design aims to balance elegance and readability, providing expressive emphasis within longer-form typography.
In text, the italic angle is assertive but controlled, producing a flowing line while preserving crisp silhouettes. The flare at terminals adds visual stability at larger sizes and a slightly engraved character in display settings.
