A slanted serif with a calligraphic skeleton and gently flared stroke endings that broaden into soft, bracket-like terminals rather than sharp, flat serifs. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, with moderate stroke modulation and a lively diagonal stress that reads clearly in both caps and lowercase. The capitals are spacious and airy, while the lowercase shows flowing joins and tapered exits that keep word shapes rhythmic and continuous. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and a pronounced italic slant that matches the text tone.
It works well for continuous reading in books and long-form editorial where an italic texture is desired, and it also suits magazine features, pull quotes, and refined branding lines. The expressive slant and flared terminals make it effective for literary titles and formal pieces such as invitations or cultural programs where a classic, elegant voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, combining traditional elegance with a quick, handwritten energy. It suggests cultured, editorial refinement—suited to voices that feel thoughtful, premium, and slightly romantic rather than blunt or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif with a traditional, calligraphy-informed structure and a refined, contemporary smoothness. Its flared terminals and moderate contrast aim to create a graceful text color that feels literary and premium while remaining readable in paragraph settings.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to be expressive without becoming cursive; spacing looks open, helping the delicate forms remain legible in running text. Stroke endings and terminals stay consistent across the set, giving the face a cohesive, graceful texture.
