A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show tapered terminals and subtle modulation, creating a lively rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical texture. Proportions feel compact with a low x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and slightly irregular, human-made widths across letters. Curves are soft and open, and joins retain a pen-like sweep that keeps the forms fluid and readable in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial layouts and book typography where an italic with strong personality is useful for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It can also serve in literary titles, refined branding, invitations, or packaging that benefits from a traditional, hand-informed serif tone.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, with a warm, humanist voice that suggests penmanship and historical book typography. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, giving text an elegant, slightly old-world charm.
Likely designed to capture the feel of a humanist italic—combining classic serif structure with pen-driven modulation and slightly varied proportions—to provide an expressive companion for text and display settings while maintaining a composed, readable rhythm.
Capitals have a gentle, dignified presence with rounded bowls and modest serifs, while lowercase forms lean into flowing entry/exit strokes and tapered endings. Figures follow the same calligraphic logic, favoring angled strokes and varied widths that blend naturally with the letterforms.
