This is an italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic build: strokes lean consistently, with gently modulated curves and a rhythm that feels written rather than constructed. Serifs are bracketed and often flare out from the stems, giving terminals a broadened, slightly wedge-like finish. Capitals are relatively compact and sturdy, while the lowercase shows more movement, with rounded bowls and softly tapered joins; the overall texture is smooth and even without sharp contrast spikes. Numerals follow the same slanted, flared logic, reading clearly at display sizes with a traditional, text-like silhouette.
It suits editorial typography where an italic with personality is needed—magazine features, book interiors, and literary or cultural headings. The steady texture and traditional forms also make it a strong choice for pull quotes, introductions, and formal collateral where a warm, classical emphasis is desired.
The tone is classical and bookish, suggesting tradition and editorial refinement more than modern minimalism. The italic angle and flared terminals add warmth and motion, making the voice feel expressive yet controlled.
The font appears intended to deliver a traditional italic voice with added warmth through flared, bracketed finishing and a calligraphic flow. It aims to balance expressive movement with a stable, readable rhythm for refined editorial settings.
The design maintains a coherent slanted axis across letters, numbers, and punctuation in the sample, producing a lively line while staying legible. The flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs help create a slightly organic edge that keeps large sizes from feeling too rigid.
