An italic serif with a calligraphic, humanist construction and moderately modulated strokes. Stems and arms taper and flare into wedge-like, bracketed endings rather than blunt cuts, giving contours a carved, pen-driven feel. The slant is steady and relatively brisk, with rounded bowls and softly triangular joins that keep the rhythm smooth. Capitals are slightly restrained and classical, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and compact counters that read clearly in text.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or lead-ins. It can also work for refined headlines and subheads, and for branding or packaging that benefits from a classic serif italic with clear, readable texture.
The overall tone feels literary and cultivated, with a traditional, bookish elegance. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of motion and rhetoric—appropriate for expressive emphasis without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, text-friendly italic with visible pen influence and flared endings, balancing elegance with steady readability. Its controlled modulation and consistent serif treatment suggest a focus on editorial versatility and a polished, classical voice.
Figures and capitals maintain the same flared, tapered logic as the lowercase, creating consistent texture across mixed settings. Curves remain rounded and controlled, and the italic forms avoid extreme swashes, keeping the style suitable for continuous reading.
