An italic slab serif with gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs and largely even stroke weight. Letterforms are softly modulated with a handwritten, calligraphic rhythm: stems lean consistently, joins are smooth, and curves are generously rounded. Capitals feel slightly narrow and flowing, while lowercase shows traditional italic construction with single-storey forms and prominent entry/exit strokes. Numerals are oldstyle in spirit, with varied heights and curved terminals that match the text’s slanted cadence.
Well-suited for editorial and book work where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or sidebars. It can also serve in refined printed materials like invitations, programs, and certificates, especially where a traditional, bookish flavor is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal correspondence. Its slanted movement and softened slab terminals create a personable elegance rather than a rigid, mechanical feel.
Designed to provide a readable, traditionally styled italic with slab-serif authority—combining steady, dependable terminals with a graceful, handwritten flow for extended text and typographic emphasis.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to read as a true italic rather than an oblique, and the consistent, firm serifs help anchor the lively strokes on the baseline. In text, it keeps an even texture while still showing distinctive italic detailing in the lowercase and figures.
