A slanted serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtle, calligraphic modulation. Strokes taper into wedge-like terminals, creating a soft triangular serif presence rather than hard slabs. The italics show a smooth, continuous rhythm with rounded joins, open counters, and slightly elongated proportions that keep lines airy. Numerals follow the same tapered logic, with curved forms and light, crisp finishing strokes that read cleanly at text sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as long-form articles, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic with personality can carry extended reading. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a classical, humanist-leaning voice is desired, and can be used for pull quotes or subheads to add emphasis without heavy weight.
The tone feels literary and cultivated, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition without looking rigid. Its slant and tapering terminals add warmth and motion, giving the text a graceful, expressive cadence suited to narrative and cultural contexts.
Likely drawn to provide an elegant italic voice that balances readability with a subtly calligraphic finish. The flared endings and tapered terminals aim to evoke traditional serif craftsmanship while keeping the overall texture smooth and contemporary enough for modern layouts.
The design maintains a consistent diagonal stress and a restrained contrast that keeps texture even across paragraphs. Uppercase forms appear poised and slightly formal, while the lowercase italic forms introduce more fluidity, helping mixed-case settings feel lively without becoming decorative.
