This is a serif italic with a calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. Strokes show a clear diagonal axis and moderate contrast, with softened joins and bracketed serifs that widen into tapered terminals rather than ending bluntly. The lowercase has a compact, readable rhythm with a single-storey “a,” a looping “g,” and a right-leaning, energetic texture; ascenders are prominent and the italic forms create a continuous forward motion. Capitals are sturdy and slightly sculpted, with confident curves and crisp entry/exit strokes that keep the overall color even while remaining expressive.
It works well for editorial typography—magazine features, book or journal typography, and refined branding where an italic voice is central. The strong, rhythmic italic makes it effective for pull quotes and display lines, while the steady overall color supports longer text passages at comfortable sizes.
The tone feels editorial and literary, combining traditional serif authority with a lively italic voice. It reads as cultivated and slightly dramatic, suited to content that wants elegance without looking delicate or ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a cultured, text-forward italic with enough calligraphic movement to stand out, while keeping proportions and contrast controlled for dependable readability. The flared terminals and bracketed serifs add warmth and tradition without pushing into ornate territory.
The numerals appear oldstyle-inspired in feel, with varied silhouettes that blend naturally with lowercase text, reinforcing the text-centric, bookish character. Overall spacing and stroke modulation suggest a design optimized for continuous reading while still offering noticeable personality in headlines and pull quotes.
