A slanted serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and a calligraphic construction. The letterforms show a balanced, moderate contrast with crisp hairlines and fuller stems that widen subtly into terminals, giving the texture a slightly energetic rhythm without becoming sharp or brittle. Serifs read as fine and bracketed, with smooth joins and an overall even color in text. Proportions feel traditional, with open bowls and clear counters, and the italic forms lean with a consistent angle that keeps word shapes cohesive.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic is used for emphasis, pull quotes, or introductory passages. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a classic serif italic with a lively, calligraphic edge.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, combining old-style warmth with a polished, editorial finish. Its italic voice feels expressive but controlled—more bookish and elegant than decorative—suited to settings where nuance and sophistication are desired.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditional italic with a refined flare at stroke endings, preserving familiar serif conventions while adding a touch of handwritten movement for emphasis and tone.
In the glyph grid, several capitals show gently tapered arms and terminals that emphasize forward motion, while the lowercase maintains a steady baseline rhythm. Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic, helping figures blend smoothly into running text rather than standing apart.
