A slanted serif with softly bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stroke texture. Strokes show gentle swelling and tapering, with subtly irregular edges that suggest pen or ink on paper rather than rigid geometry. Letterforms lean with lively rhythm, open counters, and slightly varied character widths; capitals are dignified but not overly formal, while lowercase forms are fluid and readable with modest ascenders/descenders and a single-storey “g.” Numerals follow the same humanist, handwritten logic, with rounded bowls and lightly tapered terminals.
It suits extended reading contexts such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where an old-style, humanist voice is desired. It also works well for pull quotes, epigraphs, and literary or heritage-oriented branding where a crafted, traditional feel is beneficial.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a warm, artisanal character. Its italic motion adds an expressive, conversational quality that reads as learned and historic rather than flashy or modern. The slight roughness lends authenticity and a tactile, printed-page atmosphere.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic, old-style italic drawn from calligraphic roots, prioritizing warmth and readability over precision. Its slightly roughened stroke edges and tapered terminals aim to recreate the impression of historical printing or hand-inked letterforms while staying usable in continuous text.
In text, the font maintains an even color while preserving a handmade sparkle from its uneven stroke edges and gently varied joins. The italic slant is consistent and helps long lines feel dynamic without becoming overly decorative.
