This typeface is a slanted serif with a calligraphic, flared-pen feel. Strokes taper and broaden subtly through turns, with bracketed, softened endings that read as flared serifs rather than hard slabs. The rhythm is flowing and slightly variable, with open counters and rounded joins that keep forms airy. Uppercase shapes are poised and classical, while the lowercase shows more movement in the ascenders and terminals, giving the text a lively, handwritten-influenced texture without becoming informal.
It is well suited to editorial typography where a refined, expressive serif is desired—magazines, essays, and literary layouts. It can also work for invitations, programs, and other formal materials where a touch of calligraphic elegance is appropriate, especially at text to intermediate display sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, suggesting editorial polish and a traditional, bookish sensibility. Its slant and tapered stroke endings add a sense of motion and finesse, making it feel more personal than a strictly mechanical serif while still remaining formal and composed.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a flared, pen-driven stroke logic, producing an italic face that feels both traditional and gently expressive. The goal seems to be legibility with character—maintaining a readable text color while adding motion through tapered terminals and flowing diagonals.
Numerals share the same italicized, tapered construction and include distinctive, sweeping curves (notably in the 2 and 9), which lends a decorative edge in running text. The sample paragraph shows smooth word shapes and consistent spacing, with a slightly sparkling texture created by sharp inner corners and delicate terminals.
