A slanted serif with gently flared, bracketed stroke endings and smooth, calligraphic modulation. Letterforms are relatively open and clean, with rounded bowls and a measured, even texture in text. The capitals show classic proportions with subtle flare at terminals, while the lowercase maintains steady rhythm and clear counters; the single-storey g and the curved-tailed j add a slightly handwritten nuance. Figures follow the same slanted, tapered logic, with simple, readable forms and restrained detailing.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or running text with a refined character. It can also support upscale branding and printed pieces like invitations or programs, where a graceful slant and flared terminals add formality without appearing sharp.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication rather than overt display. Its soft flare and flowing italic angle bring a warm, human presence, suggesting formality without stiffness and a hint of classical charm.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading experience with a contemporary smoothness, using flared terminals and gentle taper to create elegance and continuity at text sizes. Its measured proportions and open shapes suggest a focus on comfortable, sustained reading while still providing a distinct, cultured personality.
The design relies on terminal shaping and taper to create character more than strong contrast, which keeps the page color calm. The italic construction feels purpose-drawn (not merely obliqued), with consistent slant and coherent entry/exit strokes across letters, helping words read as continuous gestures.
