A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and gently tapered strokes that broaden into subtly flared terminals. Serifs are small and crisp with smooth bracketed joins, giving the outlines a continuous, drawn rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. Proportions are balanced with moderate caps and a readable lowercase, and the forms stay open and clear even as curves and diagonals lean forward. The numerals and capitals carry the same angled stress and controlled contrast, maintaining a consistent texture across text and display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It can also work for book and magazine settings at moderate sizes, as well as brand systems seeking a classic, cultured tone for wordmarks, packaging, and event materials.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with an energetic forward motion from the italic angle and a quiet sophistication from the restrained serif detailing. It feels traditional without being fussy, suggesting cultivated editorial voice rather than ornate formal script.
Designed to deliver an expressive italic serif that bridges readability and elegance, using tapered strokes and flared endings to create a lively, calligraphic texture. The aim appears to be a versatile, editorial-friendly style with enough character for display while remaining composed in continuous text.
Stroke endings often resolve into wedge-like points or slight flares, which adds sparkle in headlines while keeping paragraph color even. The italic has a lively cadence—curves and diagonals feel fluid, and spacing reads comfortably in the sample text.
