A serif italic with a calligraphic, humanist construction and distinctly flared stroke endings. The letters show angled stress, moderate stroke modulation, and softly bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs rather than crisp hairlines. Proportions are lively and slightly condensed in places, with a forward slant and a rhythmic baseline flow; curves are smooth and open, while joins and diagonals retain a subtly pen-drawn character. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, with readable, classic forms and consistent contrast across the set.
Works well for editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis or a classic tone. It can also support branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a refined, slightly calligraphic feel—especially in headings, pull quotes, and short text blocks.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with an elegant, slightly dramatic slant that suggests refinement without becoming brittle. Its warm, handwritten undercurrent adds personality, making it feel suitable for expressive editorial settings as well as formal communication.
Likely intended to deliver a classic italic serif with a pen-influenced flare, balancing traditional readability with a more expressive, crafted texture. The goal appears to be an elegant companion for text typography that brings warmth and motion to the page.
The design relies on tapering and flare to articulate structure: strokes often narrow through the middle and expand at terminals, producing a lively texture in text. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, and the italic angle is strong enough to be clearly italic while remaining stable in longer paragraphs.
