A serif italic with gently flared terminals and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a subtly sculpted finish. The design shows a calligraphic rhythm: rounded bowls with tapered joins, softly modulated curves, and diagonals that feel drawn rather than constructed. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase uses fluid, slightly narrow shapes with lively entry and exit strokes; the italic angle is consistent and readable. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a distinctive, looping “2” and curled “3,” reinforcing the text-oriented character.
Well suited to extended reading in books and editorial settings, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or poetic text. It also works nicely for refined branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a traditional serif italic with a warm, crafted feel.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, humanist elegance. It reads as traditional and trustworthy, but with enough motion in the italic to feel expressive rather than formal or rigid.
This design appears intended to deliver a text-friendly italic with a humanist, calligraphic underpinning, using flared stroke endings to add warmth and distinction without sacrificing clarity in paragraphs.
The flaring at stroke ends is noticeable in letters like E, T, and the lowercase a, c, and s, which adds softness at small sizes while keeping crisp silhouettes at larger sizes. Counters are generous and curves remain smooth in continuous text, producing an even, bookish color despite the lively italic gestures.
