This is a slanted serif with gently tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that give the letterforms a softened, calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and well-rounded, with moderate modulation and bracketed joins that keep the texture even in continuous text. The capitals feel stately and slightly wide in their round forms, while the lowercase shows a readable, open construction with a two-storey “g” and a single-storey “a.” Numerals and punctuation follow the same flowing rhythm, with consistent slant and restrained detailing.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or tonal contrast. It can also serve in refined branding, packaging, and invitations, particularly when a classic serif feel with a softer, flowing finish is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and poised, leaning toward a bookish, editorial elegance rather than overt display. Its slant and tapered endings add motion and warmth, suggesting a traditional, human touch while staying crisp and formal.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful italic with traditional serif structure, combining readable proportions with flared, calligraphy-inspired endings to create an expressive yet controlled text color.
The italic angle is steady and produces a lively diagonal rhythm, especially visible in the long descending strokes and the sweeping entry/exit terminals. Round letters (C, O, Q) are notably open and smooth, and the design maintains clarity by avoiding overly sharp spikes or heavy ornamentation.
