This is an italic serif with flared stroke endings and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, but terminals expand into wedge-like serifs that create pointed, tapered corners and a crisp silhouette. The rhythm is energetic, with noticeable slant, compact counters, and slightly irregular join behavior that feels drawn rather than strictly geometric. Lowercase forms show single-storey shapes where expected (notably the a), with sturdy bowls and sharp entry/exit strokes; overall spacing reads moderately tight, emphasizing word-shape and forward motion.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is meant to carry personality—magazine features, book covers, and pull quotes in particular. The distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for display applications such as posters, cultural branding, and packaging where a classic but animated texture is desired.
The font conveys a literary, old-world tone with a touch of drama. Its sharp flares and lively italic stress feel expressive and formal without becoming ornate, suggesting tradition, craft, and confident emphasis.
The design appears intended to provide a characterful italic with traditional serif cues, combining low-contrast strokes with flared terminals to achieve clarity and a crafted, historical flavor in display and headline use.
Capitals maintain a strong, sculpted presence with pronounced flaring at terminals, while the numerals share the same wedge-ended detailing for a consistent texture. The flared endings can create sparkling highlights in large settings, while smaller sizes may look denser due to the tight apertures and pointed terminals.
