This typeface is an italic serif with a gently calligraphic construction and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, but the forms taper into pointed, wedge-like terminals that give an incised, cut-letter look. Curves are smooth and open, with a lively forward slant and slightly variable character widths that create a natural, handwritten rhythm. Uppercase shapes are clean and classical, while the lowercase shows more personality in the entry/exit strokes and angled joins, keeping textures crisp without feeling rigid.
It suits editorial typography, book and chapter titles, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desirable. The distinctive flared terminals also make it a strong choice for branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a classic, crafted feel. It reads best at medium to large sizes where the tapered details remain clear.
The overall tone feels literary and old-world, with a refined, slightly theatrical elegance. The sharp terminals and flowing italic movement add a hint of drama and whimsy, making the voice feel expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif italic letterforms with an engraved, flared-terminal finish, delivering a classic yet characterful voice. Its goal seems to be adding motion and sophistication without relying on high contrast, keeping text settings stable while still feeling expressive.
Numerals follow the same italic energy with pointed terminals, and the punctuation (including the ampersand) matches the calligraphic, flared finishing. The texture in paragraph settings appears moderately airy due to the open counters and tapered ends, which helps maintain clarity while preserving a distinctive personality.
