An italic serif with softly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs, showing a clear calligraphic influence. The forms lean smoothly with moderate stroke modulation, rounded joins, and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming sharp. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: open counters, slightly compact widths, and a consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase, with a gently flowing, humanist skeleton.
Well suited to continuous reading in books and long-form editorial, where the moderate contrast and open shapes can hold up at typical text sizes. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and refined branding that benefits from an italic-forward, classic serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and familiar, evoking classic publishing and literary typography. Its slanted movement and warm finishing details add a conversational, cultivated feel rather than a rigidly formal one.
Likely designed as a text-oriented italic that balances traditional serif structure with gently flared, calligraphic finishing. The intent appears to be creating an elegant, readable texture that feels established and editorial rather than ornamental.
Capitals appear restrained and steady, while lowercase letters carry most of the personality through curved shoulders, oblique stress, and subtly swelling stems. Numerals match the italic voice and maintain the same soft tapering at terminals, helping figures sit naturally within text.
