An italic serif with modulated strokes and distinctly flared terminals that broaden at stroke endings, giving stems a subtly sculpted, tapered-to-widened rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a calligraphic feel in the curves and joins. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies with a gently slanted axis, lively bowls, and a single-storey italic “a,” while capitals remain crisp and slightly forward-leaning. Numerals and punctuation follow the same angled stress and flare, keeping a consistent, flowing texture in text.
Well-suited to book and magazine settings where an italic with character is needed for emphasis, subheads, pull quotes, or literary titling. It can also work in formal collateral such as invitations or cultural programs where a classic, cultivated tone is desired.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with a warm, cultivated voice suited to refined reading environments. Its italic energy adds motion and emphasis without becoming decorative, suggesting a classic editorial sensibility.
Designed to provide an expressive italic serif with flared, calligraphy-informed endings that maintain readability while adding distinctive texture and elegance in continuous text and display settings.
The flare at terminals is a defining feature: it softens stroke endings and adds a subtly engraved quality at display sizes. In paragraphs, the italic slant and modulated contrast create a dynamic line that favors expressive, high-quality typography over purely utilitarian neutrality.
