A serif italic with flared stroke endings and a calligraphic, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs, giving the letters a carved, slightly brush-written feel. The capitals are compact and poised with sharp internal angles and controlled curves, while the lowercase is lively and cursive-leaning with gently varying widths and clear entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, tapered logic, with open counters and smooth, flowing curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed with character and readability. It can also serve in invitations, cultural branding, and refined packaging, especially for short passages, pull quotes, or elegant headings where its flared terminals and calligraphic rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, combining classical formality with an energetic italic movement. It feels traditional without being stiff, projecting a refined, humanist warmth suitable for expressive reading settings.
Likely intended as a versatile italic serif that reads comfortably while offering a more expressive, hand-influenced texture than a purely mechanical italic. The flared terminals and moderate contrast appear designed to add warmth and sophistication in continuous text and display settings alike.
The design emphasizes diagonal stress and crisp terminal shaping, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes while keeping a distinctly handwritten cadence. Curves and diagonals carry much of the personality, producing a dynamic texture in words and lines of text.
