A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Stems and serifs show subtle flaring and bracketed joins, with wedge-like terminals and tapered stroke endings that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Curves are generous and smooth, counters are open, and the overall color stays even in text while retaining a slightly dynamic, hand-informed construction. Numerals align comfortably with the text style, sharing the same tapered terminals and classic proportions.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial typography where an italic voice needs presence without sacrificing clarity. It also works for refined display roles—titles, pull quotes, and invitations—where its tapered terminals and classic proportions can add sophistication.
The face reads as traditional and cultivated, with a gentle italic motion that feels literary and authoritative. Its flared, tapered details add a touch of warmth and craftsmanship, evoking classic book typography and high-end editorial settings rather than a purely mechanical or modern voice.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic serif voice with a subtle flared finish—combining traditional proportions with calligraphic energy for comfortable text setting and polished editorial emphasis.
The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the design emphasizes graceful diagonals and softly swelling strokes for a humanist feel. Uppercase forms are stately without being overly condensed, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a steady reading rhythm.
