This italic serif shows gently flared stroke endings and small bracketed serifs, with a moderately calligraphic construction. Strokes follow a diagonal stress with smooth thick–thin modulation, and curves are full and controlled rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and fluid, with slightly tapered terminals and rounded joins that keep forms soft and continuous. Counters are fairly open, and the figures align with the text in a traditional, text-oriented style.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis—books, longform articles, and magazines—while also working well for refined branding, pull quotes, and headings that benefit from a classic, cultured slant.
The tone is polished and literary, with a classic, bookish warmth. Its italic movement feels expressive without becoming theatrical, suggesting refinement and cultivated tradition rather than speed or roughness.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with readable, text-friendly proportions while adding subtle flourish through flared endings and calligraphic stress. It aims for an elegant, established voice that remains practical in continuous reading.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and formal, while the lowercase adds more motion and personality through curved entry/exit strokes and softly finishing terminals. The sample text shows consistent spacing and a cohesive texture at paragraph sizes, producing a smooth, dark-but-even typographic color.
