This italic serif presents gently tapered strokes that widen into subtly flared endings, giving the letterforms a soft, calligraphic rhythm rather than hard, abrupt terminals. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, with a consistent rightward slant and smooth curves that keep the texture even across words. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with open bowls and counters, moderate stroke modulation, and restrained entry/exit strokes that avoid excessive swashiness. Numerals follow the same flowing, old-style-inflected movement, with curving forms and delicate finishing strokes that match the text face’s cadence.
It performs well for continuous reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or captions. The graceful flare and clean italic movement also make it a good choice for refined stationery, invitations, and other applications that benefit from a formal, classical tone.
The overall tone is poised and literary, leaning toward classic book typography with a touch of handwritten warmth. Its slanted, tapered construction conveys refinement and formality without feeling stiff, making it suitable for expressive yet controlled setting.
The design appears intended to provide a legible, text-oriented italic with traditional serif cues and a subtle flared finish, balancing elegance with steady readability. It aims to bring a classic, bookish color to the page while retaining enough calligraphic character to feel expressive in display sizes.
The face maintains a consistent diagonal stress and smooth joins, producing a calm, continuous line in paragraph text. The flared terminals and fine serifs add definition at larger sizes while keeping the page color light and airy.
