This typeface is an italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and flared stroke endings. Strokes show a gentle diagonal stress and a restrained, even modulation, with terminals that open and widen into subtle wedges rather than sharp, fully formed slab endings. Capitals are slightly compact and softly sculpted, with angled joins and tapered entry/exit strokes that create a lively rhythm. The lowercase is fluid and forward-leaning, with clear, rounded counters (notably in a, e, o) and energetic extenders; the overall texture reads smooth and continuous in text, with a consistent slant and controlled spacing.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, introductions, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without becoming decorative. It can also work for refined branding, packaging copy, and short headlines when a warm, classical accent is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting bookish elegance rather than overt display. The flared endings and calligraphic slant add warmth and a human touch, while the clean, controlled shapes keep it polished and editorial.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with a traditional, calligraphy-informed feel, using flared terminals to add character and continuity in text. It balances expressive movement with disciplined proportions to remain readable while still conveying a distinctive, cultivated voice.
Figures are italicized to match the letterforms, with open curves and tapered terminals that integrate well in running text. The design’s wedge-like terminals and gently swept horizontals help maintain clarity at smaller sizes while still retaining a distinctive, handwritten inflection.
