An italic serif with tapered, slightly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that soften the joins. The strokes show moderate contrast with clear thick–thin transitions, and terminals often finish in pointed or subtly hooked forms, giving the outlines a lively, calligraphic tension. Proportions lean traditional, with a comparatively short x-height and prominent ascenders that create a vertical, elegant rhythm. The color on the page is even and confident, with crisp contours and consistent slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
This style suits editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—book jackets, magazine features, and pull quotes—especially at medium to large sizes where the terminal detail can be appreciated. It can also serve well for refined headlines and formal print pieces such as invitations or programs, providing emphasis without feeling overly decorative.
The overall tone feels literary and classical, with a refined, slightly dramatic slant that suggests tradition and craft. Its energetic terminals and firm contrast add a sense of motion and polish, making it feel more expressive than a neutral text italic while staying composed and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic with a subtly flared, calligraphy-informed finish—balancing readability with expressive stroke endings. It aims to provide a confident, cultured tone for emphasis and display while maintaining a coherent, classical structure across the character set.
Capitals read as stately and slightly wide in gesture, while the lowercase shows pronounced entry/exit strokes that help words connect into a smooth line. Numerals follow the italic flow with similarly tapered finishes, supporting a cohesive texture in mixed text and display settings.
