This is an italic serif with gently flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that soften joins into the stems. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and smoothly tapered curves rather than sharp contrast. Capitals feel slightly wide and steady with classical proportions, while the lowercase maintains a compact, readable texture; ascenders are prominent and several forms (notably a, f, g, y) show lively, sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals are lining and similarly italicized, with rounded forms and restrained detailing that keeps the overall color even.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with strong readability. The distinctive flared terminals and steady texture also suit book covers, headings, and refined brand collateral that benefits from a classic, literary tone.
The tone is bookish and editorial, conveying a composed, traditional elegance without becoming overly formal. Its italic motion adds warmth and momentum, giving text a literary, cultivated voice suited to narrative or reflective content.
The design appears intended to provide a readable italic with traditional serif cues and a gentle calligraphic lift, balancing elegance with an even typographic color for sustained setting.
Stroke endings often widen into small flares that act as serifs, creating a soft, engraved feel and helping maintain rhythm in continuous text. Curves are generous and slightly springy, producing a smooth, flowing line that reads clearly at display and text sizes.
