A slanted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a calligraphic rhythm. Stems taper and flare into wedge-like, bracketed serif endings, giving terminals a subtly sculpted feel rather than sharp, hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and slightly swelling, with compact apertures and a gently right-leaning axis; capitals feel stately and controlled, while lowercase forms are lively with crisp entry/exit strokes and a narrow, energetic footprint. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with flowing diagonals and tapered terminals that keep the set cohesive in text.
Well-suited for editorial settings where an elegant italic voice is needed, such as book interiors, magazines, and long-form quotes or emphasis. The refined contrast and sculpted terminals also work nicely for formal stationery, invitations, and upscale branding where a classic, crafted feel is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, suggesting tradition and craft. Its lively slant and tapered endings add a sense of motion and sophistication, reading as more expressive than a plain text italic while remaining disciplined and formal.
Likely designed to provide a refined, expressive italic with a distinctly flared, calligraphic finish—balancing traditional serif formality with enough movement and texture to stand out in editorial typography and display accents.
Letterforms show consistent flare behavior at stroke ends and a steady contrast pattern that stays legible in continuous text. The italic construction is evident across both capitals and lowercase, with long, elegant diagonals and slightly compact spacing that emphasizes texture and rhythm.
