This serif italic shows gently tapered strokes that broaden into flared, subtly bracketed terminals, creating a soft, sculpted rhythm rather than sharp, hairline serifs. The letterforms lean consistently with a smooth, flowing axis, and the curves are full and rounded with clear modulation between thick and thin. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly wide in their bowls (C, O, Q), while the lowercase has a steady, readable build with a modest x-height and open counters. Numerals follow the same italic stress and flare behavior, keeping a cohesive texture across text and display sizes.
Well suited for editorial typography, literary and book interiors, pull quotes, and classical titling where an italic voice is central. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, crafted serif texture, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is bookish and cultured, with a humanist, calligraphy-informed warmth. Its italic movement feels expressive but controlled, suggesting elegance and narrative emphasis rather than overt flamboyance.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif with humanist movement and flared terminals, balancing elegance with comfortable reading texture. It prioritizes a cohesive text rhythm and a gently expressive personality for emphasis, storytelling, and refined display moments.
Stroke endings often finish with a small wedge-like swell, giving lines a gently “inked” feel. Spacing appears even and text color is smooth, with enough contrast to feel refined while maintaining robust readability in paragraph settings.
