This typeface is an italic serif with gently flared stroke endings and small, bracketed serif cues that feel drawn rather than mechanically constructed. Strokes run with a steady, even weight and rounded joins, while the italic angle adds a continuous, forward rhythm. Counters are open and smooth, with tapered terminals and modest entry/exit strokes that give letters a softly calligraphic texture. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow, and the numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic for a consistent page color.
It works well for editorial typography, long-form reading, and literary or cultural contexts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. The steady texture and restrained detailing also make it suitable for pull quotes, introductions, and refined branding lines where a classic serif italic is desired.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, suggesting editorial polish and quiet sophistication. Its flowing italic motion reads as expressive without becoming ornate, lending a cultured, bookish character suited to measured emphasis.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic italic reading experience with a gently calligraphic flavor, using flared terminals to add warmth and movement while maintaining a composed, print-oriented rhythm.
The design relies more on subtle flare and taper than sharp contrast, producing a calm, even texture in paragraphs. Diagonal forms and curved letters show controlled, smooth modulation, keeping the italic lively while remaining legible.
