A slanted serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed terminals, giving the outlines a soft, sculpted feel rather than sharp, abrupt cuts. Strokes stay relatively even in weight with modest modulation, while curves are round and open, producing clear counters in letters like C, O, e, and a. The italics are true italic constructions in places (notably the single-storey a and flowing f), and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning with compact, slightly tapered joins and smooth, continuous curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book jackets, magazines, and long-form headings where an italic voice is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional, crafted tone, and works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and emphasis within serif-based layouts.
The tone reads classic and literary, with a warm, personable elegance that feels traditional without becoming ornate. Its lively slant and flared endings add a hint of motion and humanist softness, making it feel welcoming and editorial rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, characterful italic with classic serif manners and a softer, flared finish. Its balance of open shapes, moderate proportions, and gentle terminals suggests a focus on versatile display-to-text use where warmth and polish are both important.
Capitals have a sturdy, slightly calligraphic presence, with wide bowls on B/P/R and a generous, round O. Lowercase forms are compact and energetic; the g is single-storey with a looping descender, and the t has a concise cross stroke. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with an open 4 and rounded 8/9 that match the overall soft-curve language.
