A slanted serif with gently flared stems and softly bracketed terminals. The stroke joins and serifs feel calligraphic rather than mechanical, with rounded transitions and modest modulation that keeps color even in text. Proportions are moderate with a compact, readable x-height, while the italic angle and varied character widths create a lively rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same flared finishing, giving the set a cohesive, traditional texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography—books, long-form articles, and magazine features—where an italic voice is needed for emphasis without losing text cohesion. It also works nicely for literary or heritage branding, pull quotes, and refined packaging where a traditional, humanist feel is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial elegance that feels warm and human. Its slant and softly flared endings add motion and tactility, suggesting refinement without stiffness.
Designed to provide a readable, text-friendly italic with a traditional serif structure and distinctive flared stroke endings. The goal appears to be a balance of classic typography and subtle personality, offering emphasis that remains integrated with continuous reading.
Curves are smooth and full, and terminals often finish with a subtle wedge-like swell instead of sharp hairlines. The italic construction reads more like an energetic text italic than a formal script, keeping counters open and maintaining clarity at paragraph sizes.
