An italic serif design with sturdy, slab-like terminals and gently bracketed joins that give the letters a firm, anchored finish. Strokes stay fairly even overall, with subtle thick–thin modulation and tapered entries that suggest a pen-informed construction. The slant is consistent and moderately pronounced, with compact lowercase proportions and a relatively low x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Counters are open and the rhythm is lively, helped by slightly irregular, handwritten-feeling stroke endings and a variable, natural spacing across characters and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial typography—book interiors, essays, pull quotes, and magazine features—where an expressive italic voice is desirable. It can also add a traditional, crafted tone to invitations, labels, and packaging, especially for short passages, headings, or emphasis within longer text.
The overall tone feels literary and old-world, like a classic printed italic with a hint of personal hand. It reads as refined and slightly dramatic, leaning toward traditional bookish warmth rather than modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with more presence than a purely delicate text face, combining robust slab-like serifs with a pen-influenced flow. It aims to deliver classic readability while adding character and a subtly handcrafted texture to the line.
Capital forms are prominent and somewhat decorative in their italic shaping, while lowercase letters keep a compact, agile stance that supports continuous text. Numerals follow the same slanted, calligraphic logic, contributing to a cohesive, period-leaning texture across mixed content.
