A slanted serif with calligraphic, oldstyle influence: strokes show gentle modulation and tapered terminals, with soft bracketed serifs that stay crisp without feeling rigid. Capitals are upright in structure but lean consistently, with slightly flared strokes and a classic inscriptional rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and lively, with a noticeable handwritten swing in joins and curves, giving the text a textured, organic color. Numerals follow the same italicized flow and contrast, maintaining an even baseline and consistent stroke energy across the set.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as books, longform articles, and magazine typography where an italic with character is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or captions. It also fits formal communications and cultural branding that benefits from a traditional, literary texture.
The font projects a bookish, cultivated tone with a hint of humanist warmth. Its italic posture and subtly calligraphic details make it feel expressive and elegant rather than purely utilitarian, suggesting tradition, credibility, and a gently classic voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with humanist shaping—aiming to balance classic book typography with a slightly more handwritten, expressive surface. It prioritizes smooth text rhythm and a refined tone for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
Counters remain open and legible in running text, while the italic angle and tapered terminals create a continuous forward motion. The overall spacing reads balanced and text-ready, with enough stroke modulation to feel refined without becoming delicate.
