A serifed italic with a calligraphic construction and gently modulated stroke weight. The letters show bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and subtle swelling through curves, producing a steady rhythm without sharp contrast extremes. Proportions are moderately compact with a normal x-height, while the slant and slightly irregular, hand-shaped outlines give the texture a lively, human cadence. Numerals follow the same serifed, angled logic and sit comfortably alongside the text forms.
Well-suited to editorial settings and book-like typography where an italic, calligraphic serif can add tone and emphasis. It also works for invitations, certificates, and refined packaging or labeling where a crafted, traditional impression is desired. For short display lines, quotes, and headings, it can provide a distinctive, classic flourish without becoming overly ornate.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a formal but approachable warmth. Its slanted, pen-like motion suggests tradition and craftsmanship rather than strict mechanical precision, lending a subtly expressive voice to text.
The design appears intended to capture the movement of a broad-nib or pointed-pen italic while remaining structured enough for continuous reading. It balances formal serif conventions with subtle hand-drawn variability to deliver a traditional, expressive texture in text.
Curves and joins are smooth and rounded, and many strokes finish in softly pointed or tapered ends that reinforce the written feel. In text, the face maintains clear word shapes and an even color, while the gentle variation in width and stroke energy adds character.
