A slanted serif with gently flared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that broaden into stroke endings rather than stopping bluntly. Strokes show moderate contrast with an angled stress, and curves are smooth and open, giving counters a generous, readable shape. The italic construction feels drawn rather than mechanically obliqued, with a lively rhythm and slight irregularity in widths across letters that adds texture without looking rough. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with rounded forms and tapered joins that keep the set visually cohesive.
This face is well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine text, and other long-form reading where a warm serif texture is desirable. It can also work effectively in invitations, cultural programming, and brand communications that benefit from an expressive yet traditional italic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, humanist voice that suggests tradition and craft. Its slant and flared finishing give it an expressive, slightly poetic feel—confident and refined rather than austere. The texture reads as editorial and cultured, suited to narratives and thoughtful messaging.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif readability with italic calligraphic energy, using flared terminals and moderate contrast to create a distinctive texture on the page. It aims to feel timeless and literary while remaining clear in paragraph settings and polished in display sizes.
The uppercase has a dignified presence with stable proportions, while the lowercase shows the most personality in its entry and exit strokes and tapered terminals. Spacing appears even and the diagonals and curves maintain a consistent cadence, helping the font hold together well in continuous text.
