An italic serif with softly flared stroke endings and a gently modulated, medium-contrast rhythm. Curves are full and open, with smooth transitions and subtly tapered terminals that read as calligraphic rather than mechanical. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, generous counters, and flowing joins; the lowercase shows lively movement and a slightly variable, handwritten cadence while staying consistent and controlled. Numerals follow the same tapered, old-style sensibility, maintaining the font’s diagonal stress and soft finishing throughout.
Well suited to editorial typography—books, essays, magazines, and other longform settings where an italic with strong readability and character is useful. It can also serve effectively in refined display roles such as pull quotes, titling, and formal announcements where a classic, cultured tone is desired.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, with an understated elegance that feels traditional without being stiff. Its warm, humanist slant and flared terminals add personality and a sense of motion, giving text a refined, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditional italic with a humanist, calligraphic undercurrent—combining classic serif structure with flared, tapered endings to create a distinctive yet versatile text texture.
The italic angle is noticeable but not extreme, supporting comfortable reading in continuous text. The design’s soft flare and tapered endings keep forms crisp at display sizes while preserving a natural, pen-informed texture in paragraphs.
