A slanted serif with a humanist, oldstyle skeleton and subtly flared terminals. Strokes feel softly modeled rather than sharply constructed, with gentle, bracket-like transitions into the serifs and a smooth, pen-informed rhythm. The italic is lively without being overly cursive: forms stay open and readable, with rounded bowls, tapered joins, and slightly asymmetric curves that keep the texture flowing. Capitals are elegant and restrained, while numerals and lowercase maintain a consistent, softly calligraphic line with modest detailing at stroke ends.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic serif can carry continuous reading with a warm, classical texture. It also performs nicely for magazine typography, essays, and refined headlines or pull quotes where its flared endings and pen-like cadence can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, suggesting traditional print typography with a warm, human touch. Its italic angle and softly flared finishing give it an expressive, slightly poetic voice—refined rather than dramatic—suited to text that wants to feel established and thoughtful.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with a gently calligraphic italic voice, prioritizing readable texture and graceful movement over rigid geometry. The flared stroke endings and soft transitions suggest a goal of adding warmth and sophistication in both text and display contexts.
The spacing and letterfit produce an even color in running text, while the flare and tapering add quiet sparkle at larger sizes. Ascenders and descenders are moderately long, and the italic movement is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive page rhythm.
