A slanted serif with strongly calligraphic construction and flared stroke endings that broaden into soft, bracketed terminals. The letterforms show a rhythmic, gently modulated stroke with rounded joins and tapered entry/exit strokes, producing a fluid, handwritten energy while retaining a structured, serifed skeleton. Counters are open and proportions feel slightly compact with lively curves; diagonals and arches carry a consistent forward motion, and numerals match the same inclined, sculpted tone.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, opinion pieces, and book or article titles where an expressive serif can carry tone. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a classic, crafted impression, and for display lines on posters and headlines where the italic rhythm becomes a key visual feature.
The font reads as literary and editorial, with a traditional yet energetic voice. Its slant and flared terminals add warmth and personality, balancing sophistication with a slightly expressive, crafted feel.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic flow and flared terminals, giving text a confident, humanist character while staying appropriate for refined, print-forward applications.
Serifs are more flared than sharply cut, creating smooth terminals that suit larger settings. The overall rhythm is assertive and legible, with distinctive italic forms that emphasize motion and contrast in word shapes.
