An italic serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and a steady, medium level of contrast. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and fluid, with softly bracketed terminals, subtly sculpted stems, and compact, controlled curves that keep the texture even in text. Counters remain fairly open for an italic, and the figures and capitals maintain a composed, traditional silhouette while still reading as lively and slanted.
Performs well in editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and long-form reading where an italic is used for emphasis, quotations, or foreign words. It also suits refined branding, invitations, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a traditional, elegant italic presence.
This font conveys a classic, literary tone with a touch of motion and elegance from its pronounced italic stance. It feels editorial and cultivated rather than loud, pairing formality with a slightly spirited, calligraphic energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, book-oriented serif voice in italic form—suited to emphasis and running text while retaining a crafted, slightly calligraphic character. The flared endings and moderated contrast suggest a goal of warmth and smooth flow without sacrificing typographic discipline.
The capitals show crisp, traditional proportions with sharp serif accents, while the lowercase maintains a consistent slanted texture and rounded joins. Numerals match the italic tone and feel designed to blend into text rather than stand as rigid, mechanical figures.
