This typeface is a serif italic with clearly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that feel integrated into the stems rather than appended. It shows a noticeable diagonal slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes and an oblique stress visible in rounded forms. Proportions run wide with generous, open counters; capitals are broad and stable, while lowercase forms keep a balanced x-height and fluid joins. Terminals tend to taper or flare, producing crisp, slightly pointed details on letters like v, w, x, y and a lively, sculpted silhouette overall.
It suits editorial typography where an italic with character is needed—magazine features, pull quotes, and book or journal cover titling. The flared serif detailing also works well for branding and packaging that aims for a classic yet lively tone, and for posters or headlines where its width and motion can be fully appreciated.
The overall tone is editorial and literary, combining a classical italic voice with a warm, crafted presence. Its broad stance and energetic stroke endings give it confidence and motion without feeling overly ornate, making it read as refined and expressive rather than rigidly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic feel with added warmth and individuality through flared, tapered endings and broad proportions. It balances readability with expressive texture, aiming to provide an italic that can function in continuous text while still offering distinctive display presence.
In text, the wide set and open apertures help maintain clarity, while the flared details add texture that becomes more apparent at display sizes. Numerals appear similarly wide and sturdy, matching the italic cadence and keeping consistent stroke modulation across the set.
