This is a slanted serif with softly flared stroke endings and delicate, bracketed terminals that give the letterforms a gently sculpted feel. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and moderate contrast, with thin hairlines that stay controlled rather than spidery. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with a lively, varied rhythm across the alphabet; curves are generous and counters remain open for an airy texture. The lowercase includes italic single-story forms and fluid joins, while capitals are crisp and formal with tapered, calligraphic entry and exit strokes. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a pronounced italic flow that integrates smoothly with text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an elegant italic texture is desirable. It also performs well for pull quotes, headlines, and refined brand applications that benefit from a classical, calligraphic serif voice.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, combining a bookish traditional voice with a subtle, handwritten elegance. It feels poised and articulate rather than flashy, lending warmth and motion to paragraphs while maintaining a disciplined, editorial finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, traditional serif italic with a distinctly flared, pen-influenced finish—balancing clarity and warmth for continuous text while retaining enough character for display moments.
The italic angle is assertive enough to read as a true text italic, not merely an oblique. Terminals often end in small wedges or soft flares, which creates a slightly organic sparkle at text sizes and a graceful, pen-led impression in larger settings.
