A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Stems and joins show subtle flare and soft, bracketed terminals that keep edges crisp without feeling sharp. The italic angle is evident across both cases, with lively curves, generous counters, and a slightly variable, hand-led rhythm. Uppercase forms read stately and open, while the lowercase has more movement—looped shapes and tapered strokes create a fluid, text-friendly texture. Numerals match the italic cadence, with rounded forms and angled stress that integrate smoothly into running copy.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, essays, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed with clarity and refinement. It can also serve effectively for tasteful branding applications—wine labels, artisanal packaging, invitations, and headlines—especially when a traditional, literary feel is desirable.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a humanist warmth. Its italic energy feels literary and articulate rather than flashy, suggesting tradition, clarity, and a touch of sophistication. Overall it reads as confident and cultured, suited to content that wants to feel established and well-crafted.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, characterful italic with classical proportions and a gently calligraphic stroke logic. By combining moderate contrast with flared terminals and open counters, it aims to balance elegance with practical legibility across both display and text settings.
In text, the face maintains a steady color while retaining noticeable cursive motion, helping paragraphs feel animated without becoming informal. The flared endings and bracketed serifs soften transitions at small sizes, while the italic capitals add a graceful, title-like presence when set larger.
