This typeface is a soft italic serif with subtly flared terminals and gently bracketed serifs that broaden from the stems. Strokes show low contrast and a smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation, giving letters a pliant, drawn feel rather than rigid construction. Proportions are moderately compact with a normal x-height and rounded counters; curves are generous and joins are fluid. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with a lively rhythm and small, wedge-like finishing strokes that read clearly at text sizes.
It works well for editorial typography, book and magazine text, pull quotes, and other settings that benefit from an italic voice with clear structure and a warm texture. The flared finishing strokes also make it suitable for refined packaging copy and brand language where a traditional, human touch is desired.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, with a warm, bookish elegance. Its gentle slant and softened serifing add a personable, editorial voice—more conversational than formal, but still polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable italic with classic serif cues and a softly flared, calligraphic finish, balancing tradition with an approachable rhythm for sustained text.
Numerals follow the same oblique, low-contrast logic and sit comfortably alongside text, reinforcing a cohesive page color. The design favors smooth continuity in curves and terminals, producing a slightly dynamic texture that feels at home in continuous reading.
