This typeface is a serif italic with flared, softly tapered stroke endings and clear calligraphic modulation. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracketed into the stems, producing a gently sculpted, inked feel rather than rigid mechanical joins. The letterforms show moderate contrast with rounded transitions and slightly variable internal widths, giving the texture a lively rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Bowls and counters are open and smooth, while diagonals and joins stay crisp; the numerals follow the same italic slant and show traditional proportions with curved, flowing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or chapter-level hierarchy. It can also serve in identity and packaging contexts that benefit from a classic, crafted serif italic presence, especially in display sizes and short passages.
The overall tone is bookish and classic, with a cultured, editorial confidence. Its flared details and pen-like shaping add warmth and a human, slightly old-style elegance that feels refined rather than flashy.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif italic conventions with flared, pen-influenced terminals to produce an elegant, readable texture. Its shaping prioritizes a lively rhythm and refined personality suitable for editorial and literary settings.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase carries more motion through curved entry/exit strokes and energetic diagonals. The italic construction is consistent across letters and figures, creating a cohesive, continuous slanted texture in running text.
