A slanted serif with a calligraphic skeleton and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes show a noticeable diagonal stress and smooth transitions, with moderated contrast and tapered terminals that widen into small, bracketed serif-like finishes rather than blunt cuts. Proportions lean slightly narrow and tall, with open counters and a lively rhythm created by angled joins and gently asymmetric curves. Numerals follow the same italic cadence with rounded forms and modest terminals, keeping the texture cohesive in text.
Well-suited to editorial contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed with strong typographic character. It can also work for cultured branding, titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from an elegant, classical slant.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting classical editorial typography rather than overt display styling. Its slant and flared details give it an expressive, humanist feel that reads as cultured and slightly formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a text-capable italic with a humanist, flared-serif flavor—prioritizing smooth reading rhythm while adding calligraphic nuance and a distinctive, refined finish at terminals.
In continuous text, the italic angle and tapered terminals produce a crisp, forward-moving texture with clear word shapes. The design balances softness in curves with firm, sharpened entry/exit strokes, giving paragraphs a polished, bookish color.
