A slanted old-style serif with calligraphic construction and gently irregular, hand-drawn edges. Strokes show moderate contrast with softly tapered terminals and mostly bracketed serifs that feel cut by a broad pen rather than drawn with rigid geometry. Proportions are compact with a notably low x-height and relatively prominent ascenders/descenders, creating an airy rhythm in mixed case. Curves are open and slightly asymmetric, and letter widths vary enough to give the line a lively, human cadence without becoming distressed or rough.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, pull quotes, and period-inspired headings where a warm italic serif can add voice and texture. It also fits branding for heritage, craft, or cultural contexts, especially when a classic, human touch is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an antiquarian, print-era warmth. Its slight wobble and pen-informed shapes add a personable, handcrafted character that reads as historical and cultivated rather than sleek or modern.
The design appears intended to evoke an old-style, pen-influenced italic with a subtly handmade surface, balancing historical color and texture with readable, familiar letterforms for extended text and expressive titling.
In the sample text, the italics maintain clear word shapes and a steady baseline, but the compact lowercase makes it feel more at home at comfortable text sizes than at very small sizes. Numerals share the same old-style, slightly irregular flavor, helping headings and running text feel stylistically consistent.
