An italic serif with a calligraphic construction and tapered strokes that swell and narrow through the letterforms. Serifs are compact and often wedge-like or softly bracketed, with terminals that finish in sharp, angled cuts, giving the design a crisp, chiseled edge. Curves are generous and slightly elliptical, while verticals lean consistently with a steady rhythm and open counters. Uppercase forms feel poised and classical, and the lowercase shows a more handwritten flow with a single-storey a and g and an energetic, cursive-like ductus.
It performs well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic, cultivated tone, especially at text and display sizes where its tapered details remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and literary, blending classical bookish manners with a lively italic momentum. It feels formal without being rigid, projecting an elegant, editorial voice suited to sophisticated settings.
The design appears intended as a traditional text italic with a subtly flared, calligraphic finish—aiming to provide an expressive companion for refined typography while maintaining legibility and consistent rhythm in continuous reading.
Figures follow the same italic slant and tapered modulation, with clear, high-contrast-looking joins in curves and distinctive angled terminals. The ampersand is expressive and calligraphic, reinforcing the text-italic character across punctuation and symbols.
