A slanted serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and a lively, calligraphic build. Strokes show moderate contrast and sharp, wedge-like terminals that often broaden into small triangular or tapered feet rather than flat brackets. Curves are slightly taut and angular, with crisp joins and occasional spur-like details that give counters a sculpted feel. Spacing and color read even overall, but the forms vary subtly in width and stroke sweep, creating an organic, hand-led rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, book and magazine titles, pull quotes, and short passages where its slanted motion and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a crafted, classical feel with a touch of personality, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is literary and classical, but not strictly formal—its spirited slant and pointed details add a playful, storybook edge. It feels crafted and expressive, suggesting historical or humanist influences while staying clean enough for contemporary display use.
The design appears aimed at combining traditional serif structure with a more calligraphic, flared finishing to create an elegant yet characterful italic voice. Its goal seems to be distinctive readability and expressive texture for display typography rather than neutral text setting.
In text, the energetic diagonals and flared endings create strong word shapes and a noticeable texture at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals carry the same sharp, tapered finishing, reinforcing a cohesive, slightly dramatic voice that favors display settings over long, quiet reading.
