A lively italic serif with flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals. Strokes show a gentle broad-pen logic, with moderate modulation and tapered joins that create a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly angular with pronounced entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase features rounded bowls, a single-storey a, and a cursive feel in letters like f, g, and y. Numerals are sturdy and old-style in spirit, with curved strokes and asymmetric details that reinforce the handwritten, display-oriented character.
Best suited to display settings where its expressive italic rhythm and flared details can be appreciated—headlines, short editorial lines, book covers, labels, and brand marks. It can work for brief pull quotes or lead-ins, but the energetic shapes and strong personality make it less ideal for long, dense body text.
The overall tone is energetic and personable, balancing literary refinement with a touch of swagger. Its brisk italic movement and flared endings give it a vintage, storybook warmth while still feeling confident and attention-getting.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with a more animated, calligraphy-informed italic, using flared stroke endings and lively curves to create a distinctive, attention-forward texture.
Spacing appears intentionally irregular in a humanist way, producing a slightly bouncy rhythm that reads best at larger sizes. The most distinctive traits are the wedge-like flares, the assertive diagonals, and the generous curved terminals that keep the texture from feeling rigid.
