A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are compact and mostly bracketed, with softly flared entry/exit strokes that keep corners from feeling sharp. The italic construction shows clear diagonal stress in round forms, while stems and joins stay smooth and even. Lowercase letters have readable, open counters and slightly lively widths, giving words a subtly irregular, textural flow without looking rough.
Well suited for editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and subheads. Its traditional forms and smooth modulation also fit literary titles, cultural programs, and refined invitations where a classic serif tone is desired without excessive formality.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a warm, human touch typical of old-style italics. It reads as refined rather than formal, lending an approachable elegance to longer passages and quotations. The slant and soft bracketing add motion and friendliness while maintaining a classic page-like authority.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a distinctly human, pen-influenced character. The aim appears to be a dependable text serif italic that maintains elegance and warmth while keeping spacing and proportions practical for continuous reading.
Capitals are sturdy and slightly ornamental in their curves, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals are classic and serifed, with rounded forms and a consistent slant that matches the letters, making them suitable for inline text settings. The sample text shows stable spacing and a coherent italic color, producing an even paragraph texture at larger sizes.
