A wide, right-leaning serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed, flared terminals. Strokes show gentle modulation with crisp tapered ends, creating a lively rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical texture. Curves are generous and open, counters are round and slightly expansive, and joins are smooth, giving the face an elegant, continuous motion across words. Numerals and capitals keep the same sweeping, slightly decorative serif treatment, maintaining a consistent, cohesive color in text.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an expressive serif can carry tone—book titles, magazine features, and refined headlines. It can also work for formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, and for branding that wants a classic, cultivated voice with noticeable italic movement.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultured, with an expressive italic energy that reads as literary and slightly ceremonial. Its wide stance and sculpted serifs add a touch of drama, suggesting sophistication without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with added warmth and motion through a distinctly calligraphic italic structure. Its broad proportions and tapered serifs aim to create a distinguished, high-contrast-in-feel texture that stands out in display and short text while remaining coherent across the full alphabet and numerals.
Spacing and proportions emphasize breadth, so lines feel airy and stately rather than compact. The italic angle is pronounced but stable, supporting a clear reading flow while still signaling emphasis and character.
