This is a slanted serif with clear calligraphic influence: strokes show gentle modulation, and many terminals broaden into subtle flares rather than ending bluntly. Serifs are small and bracketed, helping the letterforms transition smoothly from stem to terminal. Proportions feel traditional, with moderately open counters and a steady rhythm that stays readable in text while keeping a lively, handwritten tilt. Numerals and capitals share the same angled stance and tapered finishing, giving the set consistent texture across mixed content.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as magazines, essays, and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductory matter. The controlled contrast and readable counters also make it suitable for refined branding lines, invitations, and short-form display where a classic, cultivated tone is desired.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, suggesting printed tradition rather than technical neutrality. Its italic energy feels expressive but controlled, reading as cultured, formal, and slightly romantic—suited to thoughtful, narrative-driven typography.
The design appears intended to provide a text-capable italic with a traditional serif foundation and subtly flared, calligraphy-led endings. It aims to balance elegance and readability, offering a distinctive italic color for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
Diagonal stress is noticeable in rounded forms, and the joins and curves retain a humanist softness rather than geometric rigidity. Spacing appears even in the sample paragraph, producing a smooth grayscale and a cohesive cursive flow without becoming overly decorative.
