This italic serif has a calligraphic build with gently tapered strokes and bracketed, flared terminals that broaden into the serifs rather than ending bluntly. The curves are round and open, with smooth joins and a consistent rightward slant that creates a flowing baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms read sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while lowercase shows a more cursive influence—especially in the diagonals and the softly cupped entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear traditional and slightly ovalized, matching the text color and curvature of the letters.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasis within longer reading. It can also serve display roles in refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a classic, literary tone is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, pairing a classical sensibility with an energetic italic motion. It feels warm and human rather than mechanical, giving text a refined, slightly old-style character that suggests tradition, craft, and taste.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditional italic with a distinctly flared-serif character, combining calligraphic movement with the stability needed for continuous text. Its proportions and terminals aim for an elegant texture that stays smooth and cohesive across letters and numerals.
Serif shaping is noticeably flared and softly bracketed, which helps keep letterforms crisp at the ends without feeling sharp. The italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, and the design maintains a balanced, even texture in running text.
