A slanted serif with tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that broaden into sharp, wedge-like endings. The letterforms show a controlled, calligraphic rhythm: curves are smooth and open, joins are clean, and counters stay relatively generous for a slender design. Serifs appear bracketed and pointed rather than blocky, with consistent entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, forward-moving texture across words. Uppercase proportions feel classical and restrained, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable pattern with modest extenders and a compact footprint.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without losing refinement. It also suits elegant headlines, short-form branding lines, and formal printed materials where a classic, slightly calligraphic serif impression is desirable.
The font conveys a cultured, bookish tone—polished and traditional, with a hint of handwritten sophistication. Its slant and tapered detailing add warmth and motion, making it feel more expressive than a purely formal text serif while still staying disciplined and composed.
Likely designed to provide an elegant italic companion with traditional serif manners and a more expressive, tapered finish. The consistent flare at terminals and the measured contrast suggest an intention to balance readability with a distinctive, graceful texture in continuous text.
The numerals and capitals share the same sharpened terminal language, giving headings and mixed-case settings a cohesive sheen. The overall color on the page is smooth and even for an italic, with noticeable emphasis in diagonals and finishing strokes that adds a lively cadence in longer lines.
