An italic serif with a calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings that read like softened, bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast and smooth transitions from thick to thin, with angled stress in round forms. Proportions are slightly condensed in some capitals but overall lively and uneven in a deliberate way, with varied glyph widths and generous curves. The lowercase features a single-storey “a” and “g,” compact counters, and tapered terminals, while numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with strong diagonals and curved finishing strokes.
This face is well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and cultural or academic publishing where an italic voice is expected to carry emphasis with authority. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where the dynamic rhythm and flared endings can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an elegant, bookish flavor that suggests traditional typography rather than a modernist voice. Its energetic slant and tapered details add warmth and motion, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide an italic serif with a traditional foundation and a slightly calligraphic, flared finish—balancing readability with expressive movement. It aims to evoke classic print typography while adding enough personality for contemporary editorial use.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong rightward rhythm in text. Letterforms show sturdy joins and confident curves, and the heavier strokes retain clarity at display sizes where the flared endings and contrast are most visible.
