An italic serif with a calligraphic, flared construction: stems swell subtly and taper into pointed, wedge-like terminals, while serifs read as sharp, bracketed flicks rather than flat slabs. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in a humanist way, with narrow joins, smooth curves, and pronounced entry/exit strokes that give letters a forward, handwritten momentum. Counters are moderately open and the overall color stays even despite the energetic shaping, making paragraphs look textured without becoming noisy.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form reading where an expressive italic can carry a sophisticated tone, such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes. It also works effectively for upscale invitations, cultural posters, and branding accents where the sharp, flared details can be appreciated at moderate to larger sizes.
The tone feels classic and literary, with a refined, old-world elegance that suggests book typography and cultured editorial work. Its sharp terminals and confident slant add drama and sophistication, creating a voice that is poised, articulate, and slightly theatrical rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib or chisel-like pen behavior into a polished italic serif, prioritizing forward motion, crisp terminals, and a warm, humanist texture. It aims to feel traditional yet distinctive, offering an elegant alternative to more neutral text italics.
Capitals show crisp, sculpted silhouettes (notably in letters with diagonal strokes and swashes), and the figures follow the same italicized, tapered logic for a cohesive texture in mixed text. The distinctive flared endings are most noticeable at stroke terminals and along diagonals, where the pen-like modulation gives a subtly engraved feel.
