A lightly built italic serif with gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than engineered. The stroke contrast is moderate, with swelling on curves and tapered joins that create a smooth, continuous rhythm. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow with rounded bowls and understated entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows open apertures and flowing, angled forms with a graceful rightward slant. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, using curved spines and fine terminals for an old-style, text-friendly texture.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic serif with a calm texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively in refined branding, cultural institutions, and event materials—especially for subheads, pull quotes, and elegant display lines where the italic character is an asset.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, suggesting bookish refinement and a humanist sensibility. Its italic movement adds warmth and forward motion, while the restrained detailing keeps it composed and formal rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical, humanist italic voice with subtle flaring and moderate contrast, prioritizing readability and an even text color while retaining a distinctly calligraphic, premium feel.
Spacing appears comfortable in text, with clear counters that help the italic forms stay readable. The flared stroke endings and softly rounded curves contribute to a consistent, handwritten-influenced texture without tipping into script.
