A robust italic serif with strongly bracketed terminals and a softened, slightly “inked” edge quality that reads like letterpress or pen-influenced forms. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with rounded joins and subtly tapered entries that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. The italics are moderately slanted with a steady rhythm, wide letterforms, and generous internal counters that help maintain clarity at display and text sizes. Lowercase features single-storey a and g, a curved f with a pronounced head, and lively descenders on j, p, q, and y; numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and flowing shapes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where an expressive italic serif can add warmth and emphasis. Its sturdy presence also works effectively for branding and packaging that aim for a classic, slightly old-world tone, and for display lines or pull quotes where the italic rhythm can lead the eye.
The overall tone is traditional and personable: classic enough for editorial use, but with a distinctive, slightly nostalgic warmth. Its energetic italic motion and rounded serifs lend it a friendly, handcrafted confidence rather than a strictly formal, high-precision feel.
Likely designed to provide a durable, readable italic with traditional serif manners and a touch of handcrafted texture. The wide proportions, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals suggest an emphasis on comfortable text color and period-leaning personality rather than minimalist neutrality.
Capitals are broad and stable with prominent serifs and smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while diagonal letters like V, W, and X maintain strong presence without becoming sharp or brittle. Spacing appears comfortably open in the sample text, producing a dense but readable typographic color that suits continuous reading while still carrying character in headings.
