A slanted serif with pronounced calligraphic modulation and clear thick–thin contrast. Strokes show a slightly textured, pen-drawn edge with tapered terminals and compact, bracketed serifs that often read as small wedges. Proportions feel traditional and compact, with a relatively small x-height, lively ascenders, and rounded bowls that carry a subtle diagonal stress. Letterforms are not mechanically uniform: widths and joins vary gently, creating an organic rhythm while maintaining consistent color in text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and long-form quotations where a traditional italic voice is needed. It also works for literary or heritage branding, invitations, and short headlines that benefit from a refined, handwritten-inflected serif texture.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with an elegant, human touch. Its slight irregularity and sharp, inked terminals evoke historical printing and formal correspondence rather than a sterile modern italic.
The design appears intended to deliver a warm, historically rooted italic with visible pen logic and a gently irregular texture, balancing readability with a distinctly crafted character for text-forward settings.
In running text the slant is assertive and the contrast can sparkle, especially in capitals and numerals. The figures appear lining and similarly modulated, matching the text face’s calligraphic energy and giving a slightly archival, printed-on-paper feel.
