An italic serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals and moderate stroke modulation. The forms are broad and open, with generous sidebearings that create an airy texture, while the slant adds forward motion. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, and many strokes finish in tapered, wedge-like endings rather than blunt cuts. Counters are open and round, and the overall color stays even despite the lively stroke and terminal behavior.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed without becoming overly decorative. It can also serve branding and packaging that want an upscale, humanist tone, and works nicely for invitations or cultural communications where elegance and readability must coexist.
The tone is elegant and literary, with a cultured, editorial feel rather than a rigid, formal one. Its flowing italic construction and softened, flared endings suggest a human, writerly voice—refined, but not cold. The wide set and open shapes lend a calm, spacious impression suited to sophisticated reading experiences.
Likely designed to provide a refined italic with a distinctly serifed, flared-terminal character—bridging calligraphic motion and typographic clarity. The wide proportions and open counters suggest an emphasis on comfortable reading and graceful emphasis in continuous text, while retaining enough personality for display lines.
Uppercase characters show crisp, classical proportions with expressive italic stress, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear apertures and stable curves. Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in spirit (curvier, text-friendly shapes) and harmonize with the italic rhythm, making the font feel cohesive in mixed alphanumeric settings.
