A slanted serif with gently flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. The letterforms show moderate modulation with rounded curves and slightly tapered stems, producing a steady rhythm without sharp contrast. Proportions are traditional, with a straightforward x-height and clear, open counters; capitals feel stately while the lowercase keeps an energetic, right-leaning flow. Numerals follow the same inclined, flared treatment for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice needs presence—magazine features, book interiors, pull quotes, and reviews. It can also serve branding and headline roles when a classic serif with motion and personality is desired, especially in short to medium text settings.
The overall tone reads classic and literary, with an editorial polish that feels established rather than ornamental. Its italic motion adds warmth and momentum, suggesting a confident, slightly old-world voice suited to narrative and commentary.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable italic with traditional serif manners and a distinctive flared finish, balancing continuity for paragraph work with enough character to stand out in display and editorial emphasis.
Serif endings often broaden subtly into pointed wedges, which adds crispness at larger sizes while keeping edges soft enough for continuous reading. The design maintains a consistent slant across cases and figures, helping mixed text look unified and intentional.
