A slanted serif design with gently flared stroke endings and soft, bracketed terminals that give stems a tapered, subtly calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and generously open, with moderate modulation and a steady, readable rhythm in text. The uppercase forms feel formal and slightly narrow, while the lowercase is more fluid, with long ascenders/descenders and a distinctive italic construction that emphasizes forward motion. Numerals follow the same chiseled, flared logic, reading clearly while keeping an old-style, editorial tone.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open shapes and controlled modulation support comfortable text color. It also works effectively for literary titles, pull quotes, and refined branding moments that benefit from an italic, traditional voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined warmth that feels at home in traditional publishing. Its italic energy adds a poised sense of motion—elegant rather than flashy—suggesting cultured, editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif conventions with a lively, pen-influenced italic structure, using flared terminals to add warmth and character while staying highly readable in paragraph settings.
The flaring at terminals and the angled entry/exit strokes create a crisp texture without looking mechanical. In running text the letterforms maintain clarity through open apertures and restrained contrast, producing a smooth, continuous line with a slightly humanist, pen-informed character.
