This serif italic shows a calligraphic, oldstyle influence with gently bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Strokes flow with a consistent forward slant and moderate modulation, producing a smooth rhythm rather than sharp, high-contrast sparkle. Capitals are open and slightly expansive with subtle swelling and curved entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms feel rounded and lively, with single-storey a and g and a gently angled, pen-like construction. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with varied widths and curved forms that read more text-like than strictly tabular.
It suits long-form editorial and book typography where an elegant italic voice is desired, and it also performs well in literary titles, pull quotes, and refined printed materials such as invitations or programs. The expressive shapes can add character at display sizes while remaining readable in text settings.
The overall tone is literary and classical, with a lightly whimsical, storybook warmth. It feels cultured and traditional without becoming formal or rigid, thanks to the relaxed curves, soft serif joins, and expressive italic movement.
The font appears intended to deliver a classical italic reading experience with a human, calligraphic touch—prioritizing warm texture, fluid rhythm, and traditional serif cues over strict geometric regularity.
The design emphasizes fluidity and individuality: widths vary noticeably across letters, counters stay open, and many joins and terminals show a hand-influenced sweep. The italic is integral to the structure (not merely a slanted roman), giving the face a continuous, penned texture in running text.
