An italic serif with a calligraphic, flared construction and subtly tapered terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast and a lively, hand-driven rhythm, with bracketed joins and gently swelling stems that open into wedge-like endings rather than crisp slabs. The letterforms are slightly narrow and forward-leaning, with compact, rounded bowls and sharp, controlled diagonals that keep the texture even across lines. Figures follow the same slanted, serifed logic, pairing smooth curves with tapered entry and exit strokes for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes where an italic voice needs to carry long passages gracefully. It can also support refined branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, cultured tone without a rigid, high-contrast look.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, combining classic bookish familiarity with a slightly expressive, humanist energy. It feels polished and cultured without becoming overly formal, giving text a warm, articulate voice.
The design appears intended to provide a versatile italic with traditional serif cues and a calligraphic underpinning, delivering emphasis and elegance while preserving steady readability and an even text texture.
In running text the italic angle is pronounced enough to read clearly as emphasis, while the moderate contrast and flared stroke endings help maintain continuity at typical reading sizes. The design balances crispness in diagonals and joins with softened curvature in bowls, producing a smooth, confident flow.
