This typeface is an italic serif with subtly flared, bracketed stroke endings and a calligraphic construction. Curves show a gentle diagonal stress, and the joins and terminals feel pen-informed rather than purely geometric. Capitals are broad and steady with crisp, tapered serifs and rounded bowls, while the lowercase is more animated, with a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and flowing descenders that add rhythm. Figures follow the same slanted, slightly tapered logic, with clear, open forms and smooth curves.
It works well for editorial settings such as book typography, magazines, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed with strong typographic presence. The lively lowercase and confident capitals also make it effective for refined branding, packaging, pull quotes, and headlines that benefit from a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, balancing formality with a personable, handwritten warmth. Its slant and flared terminals give it an expressive, cultured feel suited to refined messaging without becoming ornate or decorative.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional italic serif voice with a pen-like flow and flared endings, aiming for readability and elegance while adding distinctive rhythm and personality in continuous text and display lines.
The design maintains consistent slant and spacing across letters and numerals, creating an even texture in paragraphs while still showing lively movement in individual forms. Stroke endings and entry strokes frequently widen into small wedges, helping the letterforms stay crisp at larger sizes and giving headlines a distinctive, gently carved character.
