An italic serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed, wedge-like terminals. The design shows a calligraphic construction: diagonal stress, tapered joins, and soft modulation that stays controlled rather than dramatic. Proportions are fairly open with comfortable counters, a moderate x-height, and a slightly lively rhythm from the slanted forms. Numerals and capitals maintain the same tapered, flared finishing, giving the set a cohesive, text-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It also fits elegant titling for literature, arts, and cultural communications, and can work in formal printed pieces like invitations when a refined italic is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, leaning classic without feeling rigid. Its slanted, tapered strokes add a sense of motion and warmth, suggesting a refined voice suited to editorial or bookish contexts rather than stark modernism. The flare at terminals contributes a gentle, crafted character that reads as confident and understated.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, polished italic with a crafted, flared serif finish—balancing traditional calligraphic cues with a clean, contemporary steadiness for sustained text use.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, and the curves (notably in round letters) feel smooth and slightly expansive. Diagonal letters and sharp joins are handled with softened transitions, which helps keep the texture even in continuous text. Figures appear designed to harmonize with the letterforms rather than stand apart as purely utilitarian lining shapes.
