A slanted serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give the letterforms a drawn, calligraphic feel. Strokes show a clear contrast with smooth transitions, and curves are round and open, keeping counters readable. The italic construction is pronounced, with lively entry/exit strokes on many lowercase forms and a flowing rhythm across words. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow in feel, while numerals follow the same inclined, tapered logic for a cohesive texture.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, longform articles, and magazine features where an italic voice needs to read smoothly. It also works effectively for literary titling, pull quotes, and elegant branding lines that benefit from a traditional, flowing serif texture.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, with a warm, humanist polish rather than a strictly mechanical or modern stance. Its pronounced slant and flared finishing strokes add grace and movement, suggesting tradition, editorial sophistication, and a touch of formality.
The design appears intended to provide an expressive italic with classical roots—combining readable text proportions with flared, calligraphy-informed finishing to create a distinct, elegant voice in running text and display settings.
In text, the spacing and joining cues create a continuous, cursive-like cadence without becoming fully script. The lowercase shows a mix of crisp serifs and tapered terminals that help maintain line color, while punctuation and figures echo the same refined, angled stress.
