A slanted serif with sturdy, dark strokes and gently bracketed serifs that read as traditional rather than geometric. Curves are rounded and slightly swelling, with modest stroke modulation and a handwritten influence that shows in the tapered joins and subtly irregular rhythm. The proportions feel condensed with compact counters, while ascenders and descenders are kept in check for a dense, economical text color. Numerals and capitals match the same italicized, text-forward construction, maintaining a consistent, slightly lively texture across lines.
Well suited to editorial design where an italic serif is needed as a primary voice—magazine features, book typography, and literary branding. Its dense texture and sturdy strokes also work for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or labels where a traditional, crafted tone is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, slightly vintage flavor that feels human and editorial rather than corporate. Its energetic italic posture and robust weight lend it a confident, emphatic voice suited to narrative and display-in-text moments.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italic, calligraphy-leaning construction, prioritizing a rich page color and readable rhythm while adding personality through softened serifs and organic curves.
Letterforms show oldstyle tendencies in their softened terminals and the way serifs blend into stems, producing a continuous, ink-like flow. The sample text demonstrates a strong, even color at larger sizes, with enough modulation to keep long lines from feeling mechanical.
