This typeface is a serif with a consistent italic slant and distinctly flared stroke endings that widen into small, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are smooth and low-contrast, with a calligraphic rhythm that shows in the gently tapered joins and subtly angled entry/exit strokes. Proportions read slightly extended, giving capitals and numerals a roomy stance, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with open counters and rounded bowls. Serifs are understated and bracketed, more suggested through flare and taper than sharp, mechanical slabs, producing a cohesive, flowing line in text.
It performs well in editorial settings such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where a continuous italic voice is desirable. The flared terminals and open shapes also make it effective for branding, packaging, and short-form display lines that benefit from a refined, personable serif character.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial, pairing classic serif cues with a softer, more human, handwritten energy. Its italic emphasis is expressive without becoming ornamental, creating a warm, cultivated voice suited to nuanced, narrative typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif that reads smoothly in text while adding a gentle calligraphic lift through flare and taper. It aims for a balance between traditional serif familiarity and a more contemporary, fluid texture for expressive typography.
In the samples, the italic construction stays stable across sizes, keeping counters clear and forms distinct. Numerals share the same flared, tapered finishing, helping them blend naturally with text while still reading cleanly in running copy.
