This is an italic serif with a calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings that create soft, bracket-like terminals. The slant is pronounced and consistent, with lively entry and exit strokes and a slightly variable rhythm across letters. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the overall color stays even despite noticeable modulation between thick and thin. Proportions lean a touch wide in rounded forms, while diagonals and joinery keep the texture energetic and fluid.
It suits editorial and literary applications where an italic voice is central—book covers, magazine features, pull quotes, and refined brand headlines. The energetic slant and flared terminals help it perform especially well in larger sizes, where its rhythm and curvature can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is elegant and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a human touch. Its motion and swelling terminals add warmth and expressiveness, giving it a cultured, editorial feel rather than a purely formal one.
The design appears intended as a classic, readable italic with added warmth and personality through flared endings and calligraphic modulation. It aims to balance traditional serif sophistication with a more expressive, dynamic texture for display-forward text.
Uppercase forms read stately and slightly calligraphic, while the lowercase is more animated, with distinctive italic features (single-storey shapes where expected and flowing connections). Numerals follow the same slanted, modulated logic, maintaining harmony with the text while remaining clear at display sizes.
