A slanted serif design with softly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than rigid. Strokes show gentle modulation, with tapered terminals and curved joins that keep the outlines smooth and continuous. The proportions are moderately narrow with a steady rhythm, while the italics lean and shaping introduce a lively, handwritten momentum. Counters stay open and readable, and figures follow the same flowing, slightly calligraphic logic as the letters.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form reading contexts where an expressive italic serif can add nuance without sacrificing clarity. It also works effectively for pull quotes, captions, cultural branding, and invitation-style materials that benefit from a refined, literary texture.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, evoking editorial refinement and classical book typography. Its italic stance and tapered details add a sense of motion and sophistication, making the voice feel more lyrical than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a subtly calligraphic italic flow, offering a polished voice for text while adding character through flared terminals and gentle stroke modulation.
Uppercase forms read crisp and formal, while the lowercase carries more personality through curved entry/exit strokes and sweeping diagonals. The design maintains consistent flare and terminal treatment across letters and numerals, helping text feel cohesive in longer settings.
