A slanted serif with a calligraphic rhythm and tapered, subtly flared stroke endings. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation with diagonal stress, pairing crisp, bracketed serifs with smooth curves. Proportions feel vertically oriented, with compact counters in capitals and a relatively tall lowercase that maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals and lowercase follow the same flowing, pen-influenced construction, with small, neat joins and terminals that sharpen into wedge-like points.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or running text with a traditional feel. It can also support refined branding, cultural institutions, and printed invitations or announcements where a classic serif italic tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking editorial and bookish traditions with a lightly handwritten, humanist warmth. Its italic movement reads poised rather than flashy, giving text a sense of pace and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with a pen-driven feel, combining readable text color with expressive, flared finishing strokes. It aims for versatility across continuous text and display moments while preserving a distinctly classical, literary character.
Capitals lean toward classical inscription-like proportions, while the lowercase carries much of the character through lively entry/exit strokes and slightly varied widths across glyphs. Curved letters such as C, G, and S show smooth, controlled modulation, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) end in pointed, serifed terminals that reinforce the flared theme.
