A slanted serif with a distinctly humanist, calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. Stems broaden into tapered terminals rather than ending in blunt slabs, giving the face a soft, sculpted edge and a continuous, rhythmic flow. Curves are generous and slightly asymmetric, with moderate stroke modulation and a lively diagonal stress; joins are smooth and counters remain open for readability. Capitals feel formal but not rigid, while the lowercase carries more movement and personality through angled entry/exit strokes and subtly varied character widths.
Well-suited to long-form and editorial typography where an italic voice is desired as a primary texture—books, magazines, essays, and high-quality PDFs. It can also work effectively for pull quotes, captions, and refined brand materials that benefit from a traditional, calligraphic serif impression.
The overall tone is literary and cultured, balancing traditional bookish warmth with a polished editorial finish. Its italic stance reads expressive and fluent rather than purely emphatic, suggesting sophistication and a touch of classic charm.
The design appears intended to provide an italic serif with a strong handwritten lineage—more nuanced and text-friendly than a display script—combining classical proportions with flared terminals to create a warm, readable, and expressive typographic color.
Spacing appears comfortable and even in the text sample, supporting continuous reading. Numerals are italicized and proportionally styled to blend with running text, with curved forms and tapered terminals that match the letterforms.
