A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and subtly flared terminals that broaden into the stroke endings. Strokes show moderate contrast and an angled stress, with soft joins and gently bracketed serifs that avoid sharp, hairline finials. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals while the lowercase maintains a tall x-height and open counters, giving the text a steady rhythm. Numerals follow the same flowing, text-oriented logic, with rounded forms and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the texture cohesive in running copy.
This font suits editorial typography where an italic serif voice is desirable for long-form reading, such as books, magazines, and essays. It also works well for refined, traditionally styled materials like invitations, programs, and cultural branding where a warm, classic tone is needed without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone feels literary and classical, with a warm, humanist presence rather than a crisp, mechanical one. Its slant and flared finishes add motion and a lightly formal character that reads as cultured and editorial.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with a calligraphic, flared-stroke finish, creating an italic that remains readable and even-textured in paragraphs. It aims for a traditional, bookish voice with enough dynamism in the terminals and stress to feel lively in display lines as well.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, and the forms balance crisp edges with rounded transitions. The capitals project a traditional inscriptional feel, while the lowercase carries a more bookish, oldstyle color suitable for continuous reading.
