A serif italic with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than constructed. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and tapered terminals, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm across words. Proportions are balanced with a normal x-height, open counters, and slightly varied character widths that give the line a natural, text-driven cadence. Numerals appear oldstyle, with ascenders/descenders and a slanted, flowing fit consistent with the letters.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or captions. It also works effectively for pull quotes, headings, and brand marks that want a classic, cultivated tone with a hint of calligraphic motion.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional print craftsmanship with a contemporary smoothness. Its italic angle and flared detailing add energy and a subtle formal sophistication without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, text-oriented italic that bridges traditional serif conventions with flared, pen-like stroke behavior. Its controlled contrast and moderated italic slant aim for elegance and pace while preserving clarity over longer passages.
Uppercase forms read steady and dignified while keeping the italic movement, and the lowercase maintains legibility through clear apertures and restrained detailing. The sample text shows even color at display sizes, with the flaring and contrast becoming a defining feature as sizes increase.
