A lively italic serif with calligraphic construction and gently swelling stems that taper into flared, bracketed terminals. The curves are smooth and open, with moderate stroke modulation and an overall rightward slant that creates forward momentum. Serifs are small but expressive, and the letterforms show humanist proportions with slightly varied widths and a rhythmic, handwritten feel while remaining crisp and controlled in text.
This font performs well in editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, standfirsts, pull quotes, and cultured headlines. It also suits book typography for introductions, captions, and other secondary text, and can add a formal, personal tone to invitations or branding applications that benefit from a refined italic serif.
The tone is classical and literary, suggesting sophistication without feeling rigid. Its energetic italics and flared endings add warmth and personality, giving the text a cultured, editorial voice suited to expressive reading.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif readability with an italic, calligraphic cadence, using flared terminals and moderate contrast to create an elegant but animated text color. It prioritizes a graceful rhythm and expressive details that differentiate it from more neutral italics.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly expansive, while the lowercase carries most of the motion through curved entry/exit strokes and subtly asymmetric details. Numerals match the italic flow and modulation, keeping the overall texture consistent across mixed text.
