A serif italic with a calligraphic, flared construction: primary strokes swell gently and taper into sharp, angled terminals, while joins and serifs feel bracketed rather than abrupt. The rhythm is lively and slightly compact, with pronounced slant and steady stroke modulation that keeps counters open and legible. Uppercase forms are stately and somewhat wide-set, while the lowercase shows energetic entry/exit strokes, a single-story “a,” and a generally flowing, pen-informed silhouette. Numerals follow the same italic momentum, with curved figures and pointed finishing cuts that align with the text color.
Well suited to editorial settings where an expressive italic voice is needed: magazine headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book-cover titling. It can also work for short-to-medium text passages where a classical, flared serif texture is desired, especially for introductions, captions, or emphasized passages within longer reading.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and classical publishing. Its slanted, flared strokes add movement and a touch of dramatization, giving it a confident, rhetorical voice suited to elegant emphasis rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic with a distinctly flared, pen-driven character—balancing traditional serif authority with lively motion and sharp finishing details for strong typographic emphasis.
Stroke endings often resolve into wedge-like points, producing crisp highlights at the tops and feet of stems. Curves (notably in rounded letters and figures) show an angled stress consistent with a broad-nib influence, and the italic construction remains cohesive across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
