This is an italic serif with flared, gently bracketed terminals that swell subtly at stroke endings, giving the outlines a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Strokes are low-contrast overall, with smooth curves and a continuous slanted rhythm; counters stay open and rounded while joins are slightly softened rather than sharply mechanical. Uppercase forms read sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows more motion and variety—especially in diagonals and curved letters—creating an energetic texture in text. Numerals follow the same italic, serifed construction with clear shapes and softly tapered finishing strokes.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or lead-ins, and it can also work for longer-form reading at moderate sizes thanks to its open shapes and steady rhythm. The distinctive flared endings make it effective in branding, packaging, and titling when you want a traditional serif feel with extra movement.
The tone is bookish and cultured, with a warm, human cadence that feels rooted in editorial and literary typography. Its italic energy adds a conversational, expressive quality without becoming decorative, balancing refinement with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif italic with a more organic, flared finish—capturing the feel of broad-nib or brush-influenced construction while remaining orderly enough for continuous text.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the flared terminals create a distinctive sparkle at word endings and along curved letters. Overall spacing appears comfortable and readable, producing a lively but controlled color in paragraph settings.
