A slanted serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give the forms a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Strokes show controlled contrast, with rounded joins and tapered tips that stay crisp without looking sharp or brittle. Proportions are slightly narrow and fluid, with open counters and a consistent, forward-leaning rhythm; numerals match the text with the same italic movement and tapered finishing. Overall spacing reads even in text, producing smooth word shapes and a steady baseline flow.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed with clarity and refinement. It can also serve in sophisticated branding, packaging, and invitations for a classic, cultivated tone, especially in short passages and emphasized text.
The font conveys a polished, bookish elegance—poised and traditional, with a hint of handwritten refinement. Its slant and flared terminals add warmth and movement, making it feel more expressive than a purely mechanical italic while staying decidedly formal.
Likely designed to provide an elegant italic that balances traditional serif structure with subtle flared, calligraphic detailing. The goal appears to be a readable, refined texture for continuous text while preserving expressive, graceful letterforms for emphasis and typographic nuance.
Uppercase forms read restrained and classical, while the lowercase shows more cursive energy, especially in the curved entries and softly hooked terminals. In running text, the consistent slant and tapered finishes create a continuous, ribbon-like texture that favors comfortable reading over attention-grabbing display.
