A slanted serif with gently flared, bracketed stroke endings and softly modulated curves. Letterforms show a humanist rhythm: open apertures, rounded joins, and smooth transitions that keep the texture even in longer passages. The capitals are clean and slightly narrow in feel, with crisp terminals and controlled diagonals, while the lowercase leans more calligraphic with lively bowls and compact ascenders/descenders. Numerals are clear and moderately proportional, matching the same restrained flare and italic slant.
Performs well in editorial and book-like contexts where an italic voice is needed for continuous reading, emphasis, or quotes. The refined flare and controlled slant also make it a strong choice for brand identities, packaging, and invitation-style materials that benefit from a classic, slightly calligraphic serif.
The overall tone is polished and literary, pairing traditional serif cues with an approachable, handwritten inflection. It reads as classic rather than trendy, with a gentle warmth that feels suitable for cultured, editorial settings.
Likely designed to offer an italic serif that balances tradition and readability, using flared terminals to add character while maintaining an even, text-friendly rhythm. The goal appears to be a versatile, cultured tone that can move between display lines and paragraph settings without becoming ornate.
The italic angle is noticeable but not extreme, and the flaring at terminals adds subtle emphasis without heavy contrast. Spacing appears comfortable in the text sample, producing a smooth, continuous color that stays legible at paragraph scale.
