This typeface is a slanted, flared serif with gently modulated strokes and tapered terminals that widen into wedge-like endings. The forms show a calligraphic, humanist construction: rounded bowls carry a subtle diagonal stress, joins are soft rather than abrupt, and many strokes finish with small, angled flicks instead of flat cuts. Serifs appear as compact flares and short brackets rather than long hairlines, giving letters a crisp silhouette without high contrast. Proportions are fairly compact with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a slightly varied rhythm that feels intentionally hand-shaped.
It suits headlines, subheads, and short passages where a lively italic texture is desirable, such as magazines, book covers, cultural posters, and branded editorial systems. It can also work for pull quotes and emphasis within serif text palettes when a more expressive italic voice is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and personable, with an editorial, slightly playful slant. Its italic voice feels conversational and agile, more expressive than formal, while still reading as a traditional serif in structure.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif letterforms with a more calligraphic, flared finishing, delivering an italic that carries motion and personality without resorting to extreme contrast. The aim seems to be a distinctive, readable display-text serif that feels crafted and dynamic in use.
Diagonal strokes and terminals create a consistent forward motion across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the text with similarly tapered endpoints and rounded interior shapes, supporting cohesive setting in mixed alphanumeric content.
