An italic serif with a calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. Curves are smooth and open, with modest modulation and soft, bracket-like transitions where strokes terminate, giving letters a subtly sculpted feel rather than sharp, crisp serifs. Proportions are slightly varied from glyph to glyph, and the rhythm is lively, with angled stress and flowing joins that keep word shapes active and continuous.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a refined tone. It also works effectively for branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from an elegant, slightly calligraphic presence, especially in headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text blocks.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing traditional bookish manners with a personable, handwritten energy. It feels cultured and expressive without becoming ornamental, lending a sense of warmth and motion to lines of text.
Likely designed to provide a versatile italic with classic serif roots and flared, calligraphy-informed terminals, prioritizing graceful word shapes and an expressive reading rhythm over rigid geometric uniformity.
Uppercase forms present a confident, classical silhouette with angled terminals, while the lowercase shows a more cursive, humanist flow. Numerals follow the same italic slant and tapered detailing, reading as cohesive in running text and display settings.
