An italic serif with a humanist, calligraphy-led construction and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes show a gentle diagonal stress with softly modulated terminals, producing a lively rhythm without sharp contrast. Serifs are tapered and lightly bracketed, and many joins feel drawn rather than engineered, with slightly irregular entry/exit strokes. Proportions are moderately open with a steady, readable x-height, while capitals maintain a restrained elegance and the figures follow the same flowing, italicized movement.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic with character is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or headings. It also suits formal or semi-formal print pieces—such as invitations or programs—where a classic, humanist italic can add warmth without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is literary and cultured, with a warm, personable voice. Its italic slant and flared finishes convey motion and refinement, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than clinical precision. The texture reads as traditional and human, suitable for expressive emphasis while staying composed.
The design appears intended to blend classical italic traditions with a softer, flared finish, prioritizing readable flow and an organic, pen-informed texture. It aims to provide an expressive italic voice that remains suitable for sustained reading and refined typographic hierarchy.
Curves and bowls are rounded and generous, and several letters show distinctive, tapered terminals that keep word shapes animated at larger sizes. The spacing appears balanced for continuous text, yielding an even color with a slightly handwritten energy.
