This italic serif shows gently modulated strokes with a noticeable diagonal axis and flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the stroke endings. Serifs are small and integrated, often reading as bracketing or subtle wedges rather than crisp hairline slabs, giving the letters a softly carved look. Curves are generous and smooth, counters are open, and the italic slant is steady, producing an even, readable rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditional, with balanced ascenders and descenders and a moderate, bookish presence.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as book interiors, literary magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis with strong texture control. It also works effectively for refined branding, pull quotes, and chapter titles where a warm, traditional italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a warm, literary voice that suggests editorial typography rather than display theatrics. Its soft flare and calligraphic stress add a humanist elegance, making it feel refined and trustworthy while still approachable.
The design appears intended as a text-oriented italic that combines traditional serif structure with subtly flared terminals to enhance warmth and legibility. It aims to deliver a confident, classical reading experience while keeping an understated calligraphic character for emphasis and nuance.
Uppercase forms keep a dignified silhouette with tapered diagonals and restrained detailing, while lowercase shows a consistent handwritten influence, especially in the curved joins and the way terminals swell slightly at endpoints. Numerals match the text color and slant, integrating smoothly with running copy and headings.
