This is an italic serif with a clear calligraphic slant and flared stroke terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. Letterforms show moderate stroke modulation with smooth transitions, subtly bracketed serifs, and slightly tapered joins that give the outlines a drawn, pen-led rhythm. Capitals feel poised and open, with generous inner counters (notably in C, O, Q) and gently curved diagonals; lowercase maintains compact, readable shapes with a single-storey a and g and a distinctive, sweeping italic construction. Numerals follow the same angled, flared logic, with rounded bowls and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the set visually cohesive.
Well-suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines—where an italic voice is needed without becoming overly ornate. It can also serve for elegant invitations or cultural branding when a classic, literary tone is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, balancing tradition with an expressive italic energy. It reads as elegant and slightly dramatic rather than neutral, with a warm, humanist cadence that suggests editorial polish and classic print sensibilities.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic with noticeable calligraphic construction and flared terminals, offering a more characterful alternative to purely rational italics. Its consistent modulation and wedge-like endings aim to deliver elegance and readability while adding a distinctive, crafted texture to text.
The spacing and rhythm in the sample text feel lively, with italic forms that lean decisively while staying stable on the baseline. Flared endings and wedge serifs become more apparent at larger sizes, where the stroke shaping adds a gentle sense of motion and craft.
