A serif italic with a fluid, calligraphy-informed structure and gently flared stroke endings. Stems show subtle modulation and tapered terminals, with bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than mechanically constructed. The italic angle is consistent and produces a lively diagonal rhythm, while proportions stay balanced with moderate ascenders and descenders. Curves are smooth and open, and joins are crisp, giving the alphabet a polished, bookish texture without feeling rigid.
Works well for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic serif is used for emphasis, quotes, or display passages. It also suits invitations and brand identities that aim for classic elegance, especially when set at medium to large sizes where the flared endings and modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive—suited to refined, editorial typography where a touch of movement and tradition is welcome. Its slanted forms and tapered finishes suggest sophistication and a slightly romantic, literary voice rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif italics with a slightly more expressive, hand-influenced finish. By pairing consistent slant and readable proportions with flared, tapered terminals, it aims to deliver an elegant italic voice that remains clear and composed in continuous text.
Uppercase forms read stately and calm, while the lowercase introduces more motion through cursive-like shapes and angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals harmonize with the text through similar modulation and tapered terminals, supporting a cohesive typographic color in mixed settings.
