A compact, italic serif with energetic, brushlike construction and flared stroke endings. Strokes swell gently through curves and thin slightly into tight joins, producing a lively rhythm without sharp contrast. Serifs are short and wedge-shaped, often formed as tapered, angled terminals rather than long brackets, which keeps silhouettes clean and punchy. Bowls are generous and round, apertures stay fairly open, and curves show a subtle forward thrust that reads consistently from capitals through lowercase. Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic, with rounded forms and decisive, slightly calligraphic terminals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display, pull quotes, and brand-forward typography where a spirited italic is desirable. It can work for short text blocks when a distinctive voice is needed, but its strongest impact is in titles, campaigns, and identity applications where the flared terminals and forward-leaning rhythm can lead the composition.
The overall tone feels brisk and assertive, balancing classical serif cues with a distinctly kinetic, hand-driven motion. It conveys an editorial voice—cultured and traditional at first glance, but with enough angular energy to feel modern and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif that feels lively and expressive while remaining typographically grounded. By combining tapered wedge serifs, rounded forms, and a consistent forward slant, it aims to provide a confident display voice with an editorial sensibility.
The italic angle is prominent and uniform, and many glyphs show slightly asymmetrical shaping that adds character while staying coherent in text. The mix of round counters and sharp, flared endings creates strong word shapes and a recognizable texture at display sizes.
