A serif italic with flared, wedge-like stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled feel. The strokes show a clear calligraphic influence: diagonals and curves taper and swell subtly, producing an energetic texture without becoming overly sharp. Proportions are fairly classical with round, open counters and a slightly narrow, forward-leaning silhouette; the capitals feel stately while the lowercase keeps a fluid, text-friendly rhythm.
This style performs well in editorial typography, especially for book interiors, magazine features, and other long-form settings that benefit from a lively serif texture. It also suits display roles such as headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the flared terminals and italic movement can add personality without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, with a warm, humanist slant that reads as traditional rather than strict. It conveys an old-style, literary character—confident and tasteful—suited to contexts where a touch of heritage and voice is desired.
The design appears intended to balance traditional serif conventions with a more expressive, calligraphic italic energy. The flared terminals and moderated contrast suggest a goal of producing a distinctive text face that remains comfortable in continuous reading while offering a recognizable voice in larger sizes.
The italic construction is consistent across both cases, creating a cohesive forward motion in lines of text. Numerals share the same flared finishing and serif logic, helping them blend into running copy while still feeling formal and well-structured.
