A slanted, calligraphy-inspired serif with smooth, rounded stroke endings and modest thick–thin modulation. Forms lean on oldstyle proportions and open counters, with gently swelling curves and subtle entry/exit strokes that give many letters a soft, pen-made feel without connecting. Capitals are slightly decorative—several show restrained swash-like terminals—while lowercase maintains a consistent rhythm with relaxed, humanist shapes. Numerals follow the same italic angle and rounded finishing, reading clearly while keeping the handwritten nuance.
Works well for editorial typography where a graceful italic voice is needed—pull quotes, intros, subheads, and short passages. It also suits branding and packaging that wants a classic, handcrafted tone, and invitation-style materials where gentle flourish adds elegance without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is refined and personable, blending a bookish, classical feel with a light touch of flourish. It suggests tradition and craft rather than strict formality, making text feel inviting and expressive while remaining orderly.
Likely intended as a formal, pen-influenced italic that brings calligraphic character to both display and supportive text use. The design balances readable oldstyle structure with selective flourishes to create a distinctive, cultivated voice.
The italic angle is steady and the letterforms feel carefully coordinated, with smooth joins and rounded terminals that prevent the style from feeling sharp or brittle. Decorative moments appear most in capitals and select descenders, adding personality without turning into fully script-like connections.
