A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and subtle bracket-like joins, creating a rhythmic, pen-drawn texture without becoming formal script. Proportions are balanced and slightly narrow in feel, with open counters and smooth curves; round forms stay clean and controlled while diagonals (notably in V/W/X) sharpen into crisp intersections. Numerals and capitals keep the same italic momentum, with moderate detailing at the ends of strokes that reads as refined rather than ornamental.
Well-suited for italic roles in long-form reading—emphasis, titles within text, pull quotes, and refined captions. It also fits editorial and cultural branding where a classic serif voice is needed with added movement, such as magazine headers, book covers, and event collateral.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, suggesting editorial elegance and a classic, bookish voice. Its italic energy adds motion and sophistication, making text feel confident and slightly dramatic without turning flashy.
Designed to provide a graceful italic serif that feels rooted in traditional letterforms while staying light on its feet. The flared terminals and controlled contrast appear intended to preserve elegance at text sizes and deliver a distinctive, literary texture in continuous reading.
Serifs read more as tapered flares than hard, rectangular feet, which keeps the texture light and continuous across lines. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes, and the italic angle is consistent, giving paragraphs an even forward cadence.
