A slanted serif with wedge-like, flared terminals and softly bracketed joins that keep the strokes feeling fluid rather than rigid. The contrast is moderate and reads consistently across caps, lowercase, and figures, with an oblique stress that gives rounds a slightly swept profile. Proportions are balanced with a normal x-height, open apertures, and lively diagonals; counters stay clear even as the italic angle tightens spacing. Numerals share the same italic rhythm and serif treatment, with smooth curves and tapered endings that visually align with the letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial systems where an italic voice is needed for emphasis—magazines, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes—while still remaining comfortable in longer reading. It can also support refined brand identities and packaging that benefit from a classic, literary tone.
The overall tone is cultured and text-forward, suggesting traditional publishing with a touch of motion. Its italic energy feels expressive and persuasive without becoming decorative, making it suitable for elegant emphasis rather than flamboyance.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, tradition-aware italic with flared serifs that add warmth and motion. It balances familiar oldstyle cues with a crisp, contemporary finish, aiming for expressive emphasis that still integrates smoothly into text typography.
Uppercase forms maintain a steady, authoritative silhouette while italic entry/exit strokes and flared finishing strokes add a subtle handwritten cadence. The lowercase shows clear differentiation between similar shapes and a consistent baseline flow, helping extended passages retain a cohesive rhythm.
