A serif italic with moderate stroke contrast and smooth, calligraphic modulation. Stems and terminals show subtle flaring, giving strokes a softly tapered finish rather than blunt or sharply bracketed endings. The rhythm is slightly lively with a forward slant, open counters, and a balanced x-height that supports readability while keeping an elegant, text-oriented color on the page.
Well suited for editorial typography such as book text, magazines, essays, and long-form reading where an italic companion is needed for emphasis or quotations. It can also serve in refined branding, invitations, packaging, and cultural institutions where a classic tone is desired. At larger sizes it works for pull quotes and headlines that benefit from a graceful slanted serif presence.
This typeface feels literary and cultivated, with a gentle, humanist warmth. Its italic flow adds a sense of motion and refinement, reading as classic rather than trendy. The overall tone is formal enough for editorial work, yet approachable for contemporary branding that wants tradition with personality.
The design appears intended to provide an italic voice that is comfortable in continuous reading while still offering expressive, elegant emphasis. Its restrained contrast and flared finishing suggest an aim for a traditional, bookish texture without becoming overly ornate or delicate.
Numerals follow the same italic construction and modulation as the letters, keeping the overall texture consistent in mixed text. Uppercase forms maintain a composed, classical presence, while lowercase shapes contribute most of the liveliness through their flowing joins and tapered terminals.
