This is an italic serif with a calligraphic, slightly flared construction: strokes taper and broaden subtly toward terminals, creating a lively, pen-driven rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and smoothly integrated rather than slab-like, and the overall contrast is moderate, with clear thick–thin modulation in curves and diagonals. The italic slant is consistent and fairly assertive, with compact joins and rounded bowls that keep counters open. Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows more movement through angled entry/exit strokes and softly hooked terminals.
It suits editorial and long-form contexts where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary voice—books, magazines, and essays in particular. It can also serve well in refined display moments like pull quotes, blurbs, and cultural or literary branding where a classic yet animated italic presence is desirable.
The tone is bookish and refined, combining traditional seriousness with a warm, humanistic motion. It reads as confident and cultivated—appropriate for texts that want to feel established, thoughtful, and slightly expressive rather than strictly neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic voice with clear readability, using flared, tapering terminals and moderate contrast to add warmth and motion without becoming overly ornamental. It aims for a dependable, text-friendly texture that still conveys a distinctly literary character.
In text, the spacing and stroke rhythm produce a smooth, continuous flow typical of italics intended for sustained reading. Numerals share the same tapered, serifed treatment and feel cohesive with the letters, reinforcing a classic typographic color.
