An italic serif with a noticeably calligraphic construction: strokes lean consistently and end in small, flared terminals rather than blunt cuts. Contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions into the thins and gently bracketed joins that keep the texture continuous. Capitals are slightly narrow and poised, while lowercase forms show soft curves and open counters that maintain readability in running text. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even, with a subtle liveliness from the angled stress and varied terminal shapes.
Works well for editorial design, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed without losing a classic serif foundation. It’s also a strong choice for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and tasteful packaging or branding that benefits from a refined, traditional tone.
The tone is refined and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a touch of handwriting energy. It reads as cultured and composed rather than flashy, lending a sense of authority and taste. The italic angle and flared finishing strokes add warmth and motion, making it feel suitable for thoughtful, expressive settings.
Likely designed to provide a versatile italic with a classical serif backbone and subtly flared terminals, balancing elegance with sustained readability. The aim appears to be a text-friendly, expressive companion style that carries emphasis and sophistication in longer passages.
Numerals follow the same italic slant and moderate contrast, staying clear at display sizes while retaining the style’s graceful modulation. The sample paragraph shows a smooth, continuous text color, with enough differentiation in letterforms to remain legible despite the energetic slant.
