An italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. The letterforms show angled stress and a moderate thick–thin modulation, with smooth, bracketed serifs that taper into points rather than blunt terminals. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: generous ascenders and descenders, rounded bowls, and open counters that keep the texture readable in continuous text. The italic slant is steady and consistent, with lively entry and exit strokes that create a flowing rhythm across words.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open shapes and controlled contrast maintain comfortable legibility. The expressive italic and flared terminals also work well for literary headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and other applications that benefit from a refined, traditional tone.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking established editorial typography and formal correspondence. Its movement and subtle flare add warmth and elegance without becoming decorative, giving text a poised, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, classic italic with a human, pen-influenced gesture—balancing formal serif structure with lively cursive motion. The flared endings and moderate contrast suggest an emphasis on elegant texture and smooth word rhythm in paragraph settings.
Capitals appear stately and slightly wide in stance, pairing well with the more cursive, energetic lowercase. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with varying widths and curved forms that harmonize with the italic rhythm, supporting a cohesive page color in mixed text settings.
