A serif italic with a steady, low-contrast stroke and distinctly flared terminals that broaden into small wedge-like endings. The letterforms lean with a consistent rightward slant and show a calligraphic rhythm, especially in the angled joins and tapered curves. Serifs are crisp and lightly bracketed, giving corners a sharpened, chiseled feel rather than rounded softness. Proportions read open and slightly expansive, with clear counters and a clean baseline presence that keeps the texture even in longer lines.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or lead-ins without losing clarity. It can also serve effectively in editorial headlines and subheads, where the flared terminals and brisk slant add character while maintaining a controlled, readable texture.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary, with a composed, cultured voice. Its sharp terminals and controlled slant add a sense of formality and forward motion, suggesting traditional print refinement rather than casual handwriting.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic voice with a more sculpted, flared finishing, balancing classical serif conventions with sharper, more architectural terminals. The goal seems to be a distinctive text-appropriate italic that carries personality in display sizes while remaining composed in continuous reading.
Uppercase shapes maintain a dignified, inscription-like stance with subtle flare at stroke ends, while the lowercase keeps the texture lively through angled entry/exit strokes and compact, well-defined bowls. Numerals appear sturdy and readable, matching the same flared finishing and crisp edges for consistent color across mixed text.
