This is a serif italic with calligraphic construction and subtly flared stroke endings. The letterforms show moderate contrast and a consistent rightward slant, with smooth, swelling curves and tapered terminals that keep counters open and readable. Serifs are gently bracketed and often transition into teardrop-like or wedge-shaped endings, giving the strokes a soft, brushed rhythm rather than sharp, engraved edges. Proportions feel balanced with a normal x-height, while capitals are slightly expansive and expressive, supporting a polished text color across lines.
It performs well in editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—especially for emphasis, pull quotes, and lead-ins where an italic voice is needed. The refined shapes and lively rhythm also suit invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, crafted tone.
The overall tone is cultivated and bookish, with a warm, humanist elegance. Its italic movement and flared finishes suggest tradition and craft, making it feel suitable for literary or editorial settings where a touch of sophistication is desired without becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with a distinctly calligraphic, flared-serif character that remains controlled and legible in continuous reading. It aims to balance expressive stroke modulation with an even texture, offering a traditional yet personable typographic voice.
In running text the face maintains a steady cadence, with noticeable entry/exit strokes that add motion and help connect words visually. The numerals follow the same italic logic and terminal treatment, keeping figures stylistically aligned with text.
