This typeface is a serif italic with a lively, right-leaning posture and gently modulated stroke thickness. Stems and diagonals expand into subtly flared, tapered endings rather than blunt serifs, giving contours a soft, chiseled finish. The uppercase shows broad, open proportions and clear, wedge-like terminals, while the lowercase carries a more cursive rhythm with angled entry strokes, compact joins, and rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same italic movement with smooth curves and tapered feet, maintaining consistent color and spacing in text.
It performs especially well for display and emphasis in editorial contexts—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and lead-ins—where the italic movement can add voice and hierarchy. It can also suit refined branding applications such as book covers, cultural institutions, and premium packaging where a classic serif italic is desired.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial—polished and traditional, yet energetic due to the italic slant and calligraphic flare. It conveys formality without stiffness, suggesting cultured, expressive emphasis suitable for sophisticated messaging.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif construction with a calligraphic, flared-terminal treatment, creating an italic that reads confidently at larger sizes while retaining a smooth, continuous rhythm in running text.
In paragraph settings the font produces a steady, dark texture with strong directional flow. The flared terminals soften the edges of the letterforms and add a distinctive silhouette, especially noticeable on diagonals and curved strokes.
