An italic serif with a smooth, calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings that broaden toward terminals. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation, with soft transitions and bracketed joins that keep the texture even in longer passages. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase is more fluid, using long, sweeping entry/exit strokes and compact, rounded counters. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with open, elegant curves and tapered finishes that match the letterforms.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or expressive passages. It also fits formal invitations, pull quotes, and refined brand messaging that benefits from a classic, handwritten-leaning elegance.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, evoking book typography, formal correspondence, and old-world refinement. Its slanted, pen-like movement adds warmth and a sense of motion, while the controlled contrast keeps it composed rather than flamboyant.
Likely designed to provide a readable, traditionally grounded italic with a pen-informed flow and subtly flared terminals, balancing sophistication with steady text color. The forms aim for graceful emphasis in running text while retaining enough structure for polished display use.
The design’s distinctive personality comes from the subtle flare at terminals and the consistently tapered ends, which create a lively sparkle without sharp, brittle hairlines. In text, the rhythm reads continuous and smooth, with clearly differentiated shapes that keep the italic from feeling overly ornate.
