An italic serif with a strongly calligraphic construction and flared stroke endings that broaden into tapered terminals. The letterforms show moderate contrast with clean, smooth curves, angled stress, and bracketed connections that keep the texture continuous in text. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with a normal x-height, generous ascender/descender reach, and a slightly lively baseline rhythm typical of italic forms. Numerals are slanted to match, with open counters and clear differentiation between figures.
Well suited to editorial settings such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, titles, or pull quotes. It can also support brand identities and packaging that call for a traditional, cultured feel, especially when paired with a complementary roman serif.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication rather than overt display. Its energetic italic flow adds warmth and motion, suggesting a confident, expressive voice suitable for quoted or highlighted text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic, flared-serif character—combining readable text rhythm with expressive stroke endings for elegant emphasis.
Uppercase forms maintain a restrained, formal presence while still showing italic dynamism, and the lowercase carries the personality through curved entry/exit strokes and tapered finishes. The texture remains readable at paragraph scale, with enough sparkle from contrast and terminals to feel premium without becoming ornate.
