A compact italic serif with gently flared stroke endings and a smooth, low-contrast modulation that reads as pen-influenced rather than mechanical. Proportions are narrow and vertically oriented, with open counters and tapered terminals that keep the texture light and rhythmic. Serifs are subtle and integrated, often appearing as small wedges or flicks at stroke ends, while curves stay clean and controlled. Numerals and capitals maintain the same restrained, streamlined character, producing an even, column-like color in text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an elegant italic can carry longer passages or serve as a sophisticated secondary voice. It also works for refined titles, pull quotes, and invitations where a compact, classy texture and gentle calligraphic cues are desired.
The overall tone feels cultured and editorial, with a poised, classical sensibility. Its slanted, calligraphic finish adds motion and sophistication without becoming ornate, suggesting formality and confidence rather than playfulness. The narrow rhythm gives it a slightly high-strung, stylish energy suited to refined typography.
The design appears intended as a streamlined, text-capable italic that combines classical serif structure with subtle flared terminals to maintain legibility while delivering an elegant, literary tone. Its narrow proportions and controlled detailing suggest an emphasis on dense composition and a polished editorial feel.
In running text the italic angle and compact set create a brisk cadence, and the flared endings help define letterforms at smaller sizes without relying on heavy contrast. The design favors clarity and continuity, making it particularly coherent when used consistently as an italic voice rather than a one-off accent.
