A slanted serif with a calligraphic, flared construction and gently modulated stroke weight. Stems widen toward terminals, producing tapered, brush-like endings and soft, bracketed serif cues rather than sharp, rigid slabs. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generously rounded, and the overall rhythm feels slightly elastic, with glyphs showing subtle width variation and a lively baseline flow. Diagonals and joins are clean and crisp, giving the face a polished, print-oriented texture even as terminals remain expressive.
It performs well in editorial settings such as book and magazine typography, where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or display lines. The distinctive flare and smooth modulation also make it a strong choice for branding, packaging, and pull quotes that benefit from a classic, refined personality.
The font conveys a cultured, literary tone—traditional and elegant, but not stiff. Its italic slant and flared endings suggest handwriting and old-style editorial typography, creating a sense of warmth and motion suited to expressive reading experiences.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif letterforms with a calligraphic italic sensibility, prioritizing fluent rhythm and expressive terminals. It aims to deliver a classic, print-forward presence that remains readable while adding personality and motion to headings and highlighted text.
Uppercase forms read stately and bookish, while the lowercase carries more gesture, especially in letters with looping or descending strokes. Numerals maintain the same italic energy and modulation, helping mixed text feel cohesive rather than mechanically uniform.
