A slanted serif with a calligraphic, pen-informed construction and gently flared stroke endings. The capitals are slim and poised with crisp, wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs, while curves show clear diagonal stress and smooth modulation. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with soft joins, angled entry strokes, and open counters that keep text from feeling cramped. Numerals follow the same italic flow, with graceful curves and tapered terminals that maintain a consistent, bookish texture.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is used for emphasis, quotes, or titles. It can also serve in refined branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a classic serif with subtle flourish and motion.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, balancing traditional formality with a handwritten sense of movement. Its slant and flared detailing give it a warm, editorial personality suited to elegant, narrative typography rather than strict technical neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic with traditional serif manners and a humanist, pen-driven rhythm, aiming for readability in text while providing a distinctive, graceful texture at display sizes.
In continuous text the face maintains an even, slightly airy color despite the calligraphic detailing, with clear letter separation and a smooth left-to-right cadence. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, and the distinctive terminals add character without becoming ornate.
