This typeface is an italic serif with a calligraphic, flared construction: strokes swell through the stem and open into tapered, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt endings. Serifs are bracketed and lively, with pointed beaks and sharp entry/exit strokes that create a fast, directional rhythm. The capitals feel sculpted and slightly narrow with pronounced diagonals, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable skeleton with crisp joins and a gently modulated stroke. Numerals follow the same italic stress and tapered finishing, giving figures a refined, text-friendly presence.
It performs well for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic with personality is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined text passages. The crisp, flared terminals also suit branding, cultural institutions, and invitation or packaging work that benefits from a traditional, premium voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting polish and tradition with a hint of handwriting energy. Its slanted, tapered forms read as elegant and authoritative, suitable for content that aims to feel established and cultured rather than neutral or technical.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an old-style, calligraphy-influenced italic with distinctive flared terminals, balancing classical proportions with energetic stroke endings. It aims to provide a stylish italic voice that can carry both extended reading and high-impact display moments.
The design’s visual identity comes from consistent flaring at stroke ends and sharp, triangular terminals, which add sparkle in headlines but can also introduce texture in dense settings. The italic angle is assertive without becoming overly cursive, keeping word shapes coherent while still feeling dynamic.
