A serif italic with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give the outlines an ink-formed feel. The construction shows moderate stroke modulation, with tapered joins and a slightly elastic rhythm across curves and diagonals. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase leans with a smooth, continuous flow; counters are generous and the forms avoid harsh geometry. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with round figures and subtle tapering that keeps the set cohesive in text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic with personality is desirable. It also works for refined headings, pull quotes, and literary or heritage-leaning branding where a warm, calligraphic serif voice supports the message.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with a human, literary warmth rather than a sharp or mechanical presence. Its italic slant and tapered details add a sense of motion and elegance, suggesting formality without stiffness.
The design appears intended to translate calligraphic, ink-based italic traits into a practical serif for text and display, using flared terminals and moderated contrast to create a lively but controlled texture.
In the text sample, the italic texture reads even and comfortable, with clear word shapes and a consistent baseline rhythm. The flared endings and modulated strokes are noticeable at display sizes and remain discernible in paragraph settings, contributing character without becoming ornamental.
