A slanted serif with a calligraphic, flared construction and moderately modulated strokes. Stems broaden into tapered, bracket-like endings rather than abrupt terminals, giving the letters a soft, sculpted edge. Counters are generally open and rounded, with lively curves and occasional hooked or swept finishes; capitals feel sturdy and slightly wide while lowercase forms show more movement and individuality. Figures follow the same italic rhythm, with smooth curves and gently swelling joins that keep the texture even in longer lines.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It can also serve as a distinctive text face for literary materials, programs, and brand systems that want classic serif character with added warmth and motion.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, with an old-world sophistication that reads as both elegant and personable. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative or overly formal.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a more calligraphic, flared finish, producing an italic that carries emphasis and personality while staying disciplined enough for continuous reading. It aims for a classical tone with a gently expressive, human touch.
The design maintains consistent slant and stroke logic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive color on the page. The flared endings and curved joins give it a slightly hand-cut impression that remains controlled in text settings.
