A slanted serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. The outlines show moderate contrast with diagonal stress, smooth curves, and softened, bracket-like joins that widen into tapered terminals rather than sharp slab endings. Proportions are lively and slightly varied, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and a rhythmic, handwritten feel in the lowercase; capitals remain elegant and controlled while retaining the same pen-driven logic. Numerals echo the italic flow, using curved entry/exit strokes and balanced, old-style-like shapes.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine text, introductions, and pull quotes where an italic voice is desired for emphasis. It also works for formal collateral such as invitations or cultural programming, where a classic, humanist tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, with an understated elegance that feels traditional without being stiff. Its slant and pen-influenced terminals add warmth and motion, giving text a refined, human presence suited to expressive reading.
The font appears intended to deliver a traditional italic text voice with a pen-derived, flared-serif character—combining readability in setting with enough calligraphic detail to feel expressive and distinguished.
The design maintains consistent slant and stroke modulation across cases, creating a smooth horizontal rhythm in paragraphs. Curved terminals and flared endings become key identity cues at larger sizes, while the open counters help the italic remain readable in continuous text.
