This italic serif shows a lively, calligraphic construction with gently tapered strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt serifs. Curves carry a subtle diagonal stress, and many joins are softly bracketed, giving the forms a carved, slightly pen-driven feel. Proportions are traditional with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a steady rhythm; capitals are stately and rounded while lowercase forms lean smoothly with pronounced entry and exit strokes. Numerals match the text color closely, with consistent slant and tapered endings that keep them integrated in running text.
It performs well in continuous reading and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. The refined, traditional character also suits literary titling, pull quotes, and high-tone brand copy that benefits from a classic serif italic texture.
The overall tone is cultivated and bookish, evoking classic print typography and formal writing. Its italic movement reads elegant rather than flashy, adding a sense of authority and warmth suitable for narrative and editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with a distinctly traditional, pen-influenced feel—prioritizing smooth flow, readable texture, and a classic editorial voice while using flared terminals to add character and soften the silhouette.
The font maintains strong consistency in terminal shaping across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive texture at text sizes. The slant is confident and even, and the flared endings help preserve clarity without feeling sharp or mechanical.
