A flared serif italic with gently swelling stems and tapered, wedge-like terminals that give the letters a subtly calligraphic finish. The overall contrast stays modest, with softly modulated curves and bracketed joins that keep color even across words. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a slightly energetic rhythm created by the italic slant and the lively shaping of diagonals and curves.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or cultural headings where an italic voice is desired without extreme contrast. It also suits branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a classic, crafted serif presence, and it can scale up effectively for short display lines and pull quotes.
The tone feels traditional and bookish, with a refined, old-style warmth rather than a sharp modern edge. Its italic movement and flared endings add a hint of drama and ceremony, suitable for elegant, narrative-driven typography.
The design appears intended to bridge readable text rhythm with a more expressive italic manner, using flared stroke endings to suggest pen-derived forms while maintaining an even typographic color. It aims for a classical impression that remains practical for continuous setting.
In text, the face holds together with a smooth, continuous flow and consistent spacing, while distinctive tapered terminals on letters like a, c, e, and s add character without becoming ornamental. Numerals match the serifed, slightly calligraphic construction, keeping the same steady texture in running figures.
