A slanted serif with pronounced calligraphic modulation and crisp thick–thin contrast. Strokes feel drawn with a broad-nib pen: entry/exit strokes taper, curves swell smoothly, and terminals often finish in subtly angled, teardrop-like shapes. Serifs are bracketed and compact rather than flat, with lively, slightly irregular edges that add a human touch. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with generous ascenders and descenders, while counters remain open and rounded; overall spacing creates an even, flowing rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where an expressive italic voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for pull quotes, poetry, cultural branding, and printed pieces such as invitations or programs that benefit from a classic, calligraphic serif tone.
The tone is traditional and literary, with an elegant, handwritten energy that reads as warm rather than austere. Its italic movement adds a sense of motion and refinement, evoking classic book typography and old-world editorial styles.
The likely intention is to provide a readable, text-forward italic with visible pen influence—combining traditional serif structure with a lively, human cadence for comfortable reading and refined emphasis.
The design leans on strong diagonals and curved joins, giving letterforms a springy texture in lines of text. Numerals appear old-style, with varying heights and a more text-oriented presence that blends into running copy.
