A slanted serif design with gently flared stroke endings and tapered terminals that create a subtle, calligraphic rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, with modest stroke modulation and crisp, wedge-like finishing rather than blunt slabs. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with slightly generous spacing and a calm baseline flow; the uppercase shows classic, bookish construction while the lowercase maintains a graceful, continuous italic motion. Numerals follow the same light, tapered logic, with rounded forms and delicate entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, essays, and captions where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works nicely for pull quotes, front matter, invitations, and elegant branding lines that benefit from a refined, traditional feel.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, suggesting editorial polish rather than display exuberance. Its slant and flared terminals give it a human, handwritten sophistication that feels timeless and literary.
Likely intended as a versatile italic with a classic serif foundation, adding warmth through tapered strokes and flared terminals while remaining disciplined enough for continuous text. The design aims to provide an expressive yet legible companion for editorial typography and formal communication.
Diagonal stress is apparent across rounded letters, and many joins resolve into sharp, clean points that keep the texture crisp at text sizes. The shapes favor clarity over ornament, using restrained detailing to add character without becoming fussy.
