A right-leaning serif italic with generous proportions and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show gently modulated thickness with angled stress, and many terminals broaden into subtle flares rather than abrupt cuts. Serifs are bracketed and slightly tapered, giving joins a smooth, continuous flow. Bowls and counters are open and rounded, while diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Y are crisp and clean; capitals feel poised and slightly expansive, and the numerals follow the same slanted, flowing logic with clear, readable shapes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis or voice. It also works for pull quotes, headlines that want a classic slanted character, and brand systems seeking a refined, traditional tone with a touch of motion.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial, combining classical italic elegance with a brisk, forward motion. It feels refined and literary rather than ornate, projecting confidence and sophistication without heaviness.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic that reads smoothly at text sizes while still showing distinct, crafted detailing. By using softened bracketing and subtly widening terminals, it aims to keep the page color even and comfortable while retaining a recognizable, elegant personality.
In running text the italic angle creates strong horizontal momentum, while the flared terminals and soft bracketing keep the texture warm and human. The punctuation and figures visually match the letterforms, supporting consistent color across mixed-content settings.
