An italic serif with a humanist, calligraphic build and gently flared stroke endings. Strokes show smooth tapering and moderate contrast, with softened transitions and bracketed-looking terminals that avoid sharp slab-like blocks. The italics are distinctly slanted with lively entry/exit strokes, and the letterforms keep open counters and rounded bowls, producing an even, readable rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same drawn, pen-informed logic, with curved diagonals and subtly swelling stems that create a slightly variable, organic texture across a line.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and pull quotes where a classic italic voice is needed. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a traditional serif with a soft, flared finish.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, balancing elegance with warmth. It reads as traditional and trustworthy, but with enough movement and hand influence to feel personable rather than rigid. The italic energy gives it a refined, expressive voice suited to nuanced text.
Likely intended as a text-capable italic serif that evokes classical calligraphy while maintaining modern consistency. The design appears aimed at delivering a graceful, readable texture with subtly flared terminals for character and warmth.
Capitals feel stately and gently sculpted, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms through distinctive terminals and curves. The sample text shows stable spacing and a consistent diagonal flow, supporting long passages without looking mechanical.
