An italic serif with a lively, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. The serifs are small and often wedge-like, with a subtly irregular, hand-cut impression at terminals that keeps the rhythm from feeling mechanical. Curves are generous and slightly tilted, while joins and diagonals show an organic tension that reads well at text sizes. Proportions are fairly traditional, with a balanced x-height and clear differentiation between rounds, straights, and diagonals; numerals follow the same slightly angular, pen-influenced logic.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed without becoming overly ornate. It also suits magazine features, introductions, and pull quotes that benefit from a traditional, expressive serif texture. At larger sizes it can serve for refined titling where a classic, slightly handcrafted feel is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and bookish with a warm, human presence. Its slight roughness and energetic slant suggest heritage printing and editorial typography rather than a slick corporate voice. The texture feels inviting and narrative, suited to content that benefits from character and motion.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif foundation with an italic that carries clear calligraphic energy and a subtly handcrafted finish. It aims for readability and familiarity while adding distinctive terminal shapes and a warmer page color for literary and editorial settings.
The italic angle is noticeable but not extreme, maintaining steady word shapes and comfortable spacing in paragraphs. Letterforms show gentle variations in width and stroke endings, creating a textured line while keeping counters open and forms recognizable. The sample text demonstrates an even gray value across lines despite the expressive terminals.
