A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and subtly flared terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and soft, bracketed serif behavior rather than blunt endings. The rhythm is energetic, with slightly irregular, hand-informed modulation that keeps counters open and curves smooth. Uppercase forms feel stately and gently wide in stance, while the lowercase shows more movement, including a double-storey g and a long, descending f, reinforcing an italic text-face texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book typography where an italic voice is used for emphasis, pull quotes, or narrative tone. It can also support refined branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, humanist serif flavor with a bit of motion.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive—more literary and editorial than corporate. Its italic energy reads confident and articulate, suggesting tradition with a contemporary crispness rather than overt ornament.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, expressive italic with traditional serif cues and flared stroke endings, balancing elegance and momentum. Its moderated contrast and open forms aim for clarity in continuous text while preserving a distinctive, calligraphic signature.
Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel with curved transitions and consistent slant, pairing naturally with the letterforms for text settings. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown; the sample demonstrates comfortable word shapes and even color at reading sizes.
