This is an italic serif with a lively, calligraphic construction and subtly flared, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded transitions and tapered entries/exits, giving curves a brushed, slightly organic feel. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with flowing diagonals and open counters that keep text from feeling cramped. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curving forms and pronounced stroke tapering that matches the letterforms.
It performs well for editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and long-form quotes—where an italic voice is needed with good readability and a refined surface. It also suits titling, pull quotes, menus, and premium packaging, especially when a classic, expressive tone is desired without excessive flourish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, leaning toward elegant rather than strict. Its energetic italic movement reads as cultured and expressive, suited to editorial sophistication and historical or humanist flavor without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a versatile, humanist-leaning italic with flared serif cues, balancing traditional bookish elegance with enough motion and texture to stand out in display settings.
Capitals are relatively upright in structure but still carry the italic stress and tapered finishing, producing a dignified yet dynamic headline presence. Lowercase forms maintain a steady baseline rhythm while showing noticeable stroke modulation at terminals, which adds texture in paragraphs and a slightly “inked” character at larger sizes.
