A slanted serif with a calligraphic, humanist construction and gently flared stroke endings. Strokes show moderate contrast with soft, brush-like transitions and bracketed serif behavior rather than sharp, abrupt terminals. Curves are open and slightly elastic, and the rhythm feels lively due to subtle width variation and a forward-leaning posture. Numerals and capitals keep the same nuanced modulation, with rounded forms staying clean and evenly weighted while diagonal letters emphasize the italic flow.
Works well for long-form reading in novels, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic voice needs to carry comfortably across paragraphs. It also suits magazine features, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from a classic serif tone with a touch of calligraphic motion.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, combining traditional serif familiarity with a more expressive, handwritten energy. It reads as refined and approachable rather than austere, giving text a narrative, editorial character.
Designed to provide an italic serif that feels traditional yet animated, using flared terminals and moderated contrast to create a warm, continuous texture. The intent appears to balance readability with expressive, literature-oriented personality for both text and display applications.
Ascenders are prominent and slender, with smooth joins and tapered exits that reinforce the cursive movement. The alphabet sample suggests consistent spacing for continuous reading, with distinctive italic shapes that remain legible at text sizes.
