A serif italic with a lively, calligraphic construction and gently modulated stroke weight. Stems and arms taper into flared, wedge-like terminals, with softly bracketed joins that keep the texture smooth in text. The letterforms lean with a consistent italic angle, showing flowing entry/exit strokes and a slightly variable rhythm across characters. Counters are generally open and rounded, while capitals are broad and stable with sculpted curves and tapered horizontals that give the face an engraved, bookish character.
Works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form contexts where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also suits invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, slightly calligraphic serif tone—particularly for headlines, pull quotes, and emphasized passages.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with an editorial elegance that reads as learned rather than flashy. Its italic energy adds motion and warmth, making it feel expressive and slightly formal—suited to classic, literary, and heritage-leaning contexts.
Likely intended as a versatile italic serif that bridges text usefulness with display elegance. The design emphasizes traditional proportions and a crafted, pen-informed stroke logic, aiming for a refined texture and expressive emphasis in reading environments.
The numerals and capitals carry clear, high-contrast silhouettes at display sizes, while the lowercase maintains a continuous, readable flow in paragraphs. Curved strokes (notably in C, G, S, and O) show smooth swelling and tapering that reinforces the flared terminal theme and creates a cohesive page color.
