This is a serif italic with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed transitions that give the letterforms a calligraphic, pen-driven feel. Curves show angled stress and moderate modulation, while terminals tend to finish in tapered, slightly pointed shapes rather than blunt cuts. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, with open counters and a smooth, flowing rhythm; round letters remain fairly compact while diagonals and joining strokes introduce a lively forward motion. Overall proportions feel balanced and traditional, with clear differentiation in shapes like the two-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and a distinctive, curved “f” and “j” that extend with elegant descenders.
It’s well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and pull quotes where an expressive italic can carry tone and emphasis. The flared serifs and calligraphic modulation also make it a strong choice for refined branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a classic, cultivated voice.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone—polished and cultivated without feeling rigid. Its italic energy and flared detailing add warmth and a touch of old-world sophistication, making it feel suitable for classic, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional old-style italic forms with flared, pen-like endings and a smooth reading rhythm, offering a decorative-yet-text-capable italic for refined publishing and identity work.
In the sample text, word shapes read smoothly at display and larger text sizes, with the italic angle creating strong directional flow. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, blending naturally with the letters rather than appearing purely mechanical.
