An italic serif with moderate contrast and a noticeably calligraphic construction. Strokes taper and swell with a diagonal stress, and many terminals and serifs flare outward rather than ending bluntly, creating a soft, brush-like finish. Curves are generous and open, counters stay readable, and the italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Overall proportions feel roomy with ample sidebearing, giving the type a relaxed, flowing rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and cultured marketing materials where an italic voice is desired beyond simple emphasis. It can carry expressive headlines and pull quotes, and also works for short-to-medium passages when a graceful, slightly formal texture is appropriate.
The tone is refined and literary, with a warm, humanist sensibility. Its lively stroke modulation and flared endings add personality without becoming ornamental, suggesting a voice that is cultured, editorial, and gently expressive.
The design appears intended to blend classical italic traditions with a more organic, flared finishing, offering a distinctive text and display italic that reads smoothly while projecting a crafted, editorial character.
Capitals present a dignified, slightly classical presence while keeping an italic dynamism, and the lowercase maintains smooth joining-like continuity even though it is not a script. Numerals follow the same italic cadence and tapered finishing, harmonizing well with running text.
