An italic serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give the letterforms a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate modulation with broad, dark main strokes and tapered joins, producing a steady but lively rhythm in text. Proportions are slightly condensed in many glyphs, with crisp curves, open counters, and a forward slant that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Numerals follow the same oblique, tapered construction, maintaining a cohesive texture alongside the letters.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book and magazine layouts, and other long-form contexts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve in refined headlines and subheads where a classic, energetic italic texture helps set tone and direction.
The overall tone reads traditional and literary, with an elegant, slightly dramatic slant that suggests established publishing and refined branding. Its flared endings add warmth and motion, creating an inviting, humanistic presence rather than a strictly mechanical one.
Likely designed to deliver a readable italic with a traditional serif foundation and flared, calligraphy-derived terminals, balancing expressive movement with controlled proportions for both display moments and sustained text settings.
The capitals present a strong, display-friendly silhouette while remaining compatible with continuous reading. In paragraphs, the italic angle and tapered terminals create a flowing line that emphasizes momentum and can add emphasis without feeling overly ornate.
