A compact, right-leaning serif with sturdy stems and gently modulated strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with rounded joins that create a soft, inked feel rather than a crisp, chiseled one. Curves are full and slightly swollen, and several letters show subtle teardrop/ball-like terminals and inward notches at joins that add texture and rhythm. Capitals are strong and slightly narrow in presence, while lowercase forms are energetic, with a single-storey a and g and an overall flowing, connected-by-angle italic structure.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice carries emphasis with presence—magazine features, book interiors, pull quotes, and lead-ins. The strong color also makes it useful for packaging and brand copy that wants a traditional, crafted tone without looking overly formal.
The tone is classic and literary with a warm, personable slant. Its sturdy shapes read as confident and traditional, while the rounded details and lively italic rhythm add an inviting, slightly nostalgic character.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif reading texture while giving italic typography extra personality through rounded brackets, lively curves, and softened terminals. The goal appears to be a dependable text face with a warmer, more expressive slanted companion for emphasis and display within editorial settings.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally varied in an italic way, with letters tucking and leaning into each other. Numerals are robust and old-style in spirit, with curved, calligraphic strokes and softened terminals that match the text color of the letters.
