A lively italic serif with pronounced rightward slant, soft modulation, and flared stroke endings that broaden into tapered terminals. The letterforms show generous curves, rounded joins, and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a carved, calligraphic finish rather than sharp hairlines. Counters are open and the rhythm is fluid, with slightly varied character widths and a gently forward-driving texture that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and brand applications that benefit from a sophisticated italic voice. Its strong slant and flared terminals also make it effective for pull quotes, headlines, and packaging or poster work where a classic yet expressive serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish with an expressive, human touch. It reads as refined and slightly dramatic, conveying a sense of heritage, ceremony, and editorial polish without feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with a more human, calligraphy-informed finish, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to maintain warmth and momentum at text and display sizes. It prioritizes a graceful reading rhythm and an elevated, literary character.
Capitals are robust and confident, while lowercase forms lean into cursive-like movement with noticeable entry/exit shaping on several letters. Numerals follow the same italic energy, with round forms feeling full and the straighter figures showing tapered, flared endings that keep the set visually consistent.
