This italic serif shows slim proportions with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, low-contrast stroke modulation. Stems and diagonals taper and subtly flare into sharp, wedge-like terminals, producing a carved, calligraphic feel rather than blunt serifs. Curves are clean and open, with compact counters and a steady rhythm; the overall texture reads crisp and ordered in text. The numerals follow the same angled, tapered logic, with clear shapes and restrained detailing.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book matter where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It also fits refined branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, literary tone, and works effectively for short passages and display lines where the sharp terminals can be appreciated.
The tone is traditional and cultured, evoking book typography and formal correspondence. Its slanted, flared finishing gives it a touch of speed and elegance, suggesting sophistication without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading experience with a slightly calligraphic edge, using tapered, flared terminals to add elegance and motion while keeping the overall texture controlled and consistent.
In the sample text, spacing and joins maintain a steady, readable flow, while the pointed terminals add sparkle in larger sizes. The overall impression balances restraint with a distinctly italic, calligraphic gesture.
