This is a slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and visibly flared stroke endings. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered terminals, bracketed serif behavior, and a crisp, carved feel at joins and turns. Uppercase forms are relatively compact and stately, while the lowercase is more fluid, with narrow apertures and energetic diagonals that emphasize the italic rhythm. Numerals follow the same pen-like logic, keeping a consistent slant and tapering in curves and diagonals.
It performs well for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasized passages in books or magazines. At larger sizes it can serve as a refined headline or display italic, where the flared endings and crisp terminals become a clear stylistic signature.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, with a traditional, bookish elegance that feels suited to established institutions and considered writing. Its italic motion adds a sense of momentum and emphasis, reading as expressive without becoming decorative or whimsical.
The font appears designed to provide a classic italic with a slightly sculpted, flared finish—balancing tradition, readability, and a distinctive editorial character. It aims to deliver a confident typographic accent that remains coherent in longer settings.
The design leans on sharp entry/exit strokes and controlled asymmetry typical of italic forms, creating a lively baseline texture in continuous text. Flared endings and tapered terminals keep counters open enough for text use while still projecting a distinctive, crafted personality.
