A slanted serif with moderately contrasting strokes and softly flared terminals that broaden into tapered, serif-like endings. The letterforms show diagonal stress and a slightly calligraphic construction, with crisp joins and bracketed serifs that feel integrated rather than sharp. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, generous curves, and a lively rhythm; capitals read stately while lowercase forms stay fluid and readable. Numerals and punctuation follow the same angled, flared stroke logic, keeping the texture consistent in continuous text.
Well suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic with personality is needed for emphasis or sustained reading. It can also serve in literary or heritage-oriented branding, packaging, and invitations, especially where a refined, classic tone is desirable.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, with a hint of handwritten energy. It conveys a traditional, cultivated voice—more expressive than a neutral text italic—without becoming ornamental. The slant and flared endings add warmth and motion, suggesting a refined, editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with an energetic italic flow, using flared stroke endings to add softness and character. It aims for a readable, cultured texture in paragraphs while providing expressive emphasis in headlines and pull quotes.
In the sample paragraphs, the texture stays even across mixed-case passages, and the italics maintain clarity through distinctive letter shapes and open counters. The capitals have a formal presence suitable for emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous flow that supports longer reading.
