An italic serif with moderate stroke modulation and a smooth, flowing rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered, and many terminals finish with subtle wedges or soft hooks, reinforcing the handwritten influence. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with open counters and a steady baseline sweep that keeps long passages readable while maintaining a graceful, angled texture.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, longform articles, and essays, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or quotations. It can also perform effectively in invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, refined feel. In digital or print layouts, it’s most at home from body sizes through modest display, where its angled rhythm and crisp serifs can be appreciated.
This typeface conveys a literary, cultivated tone with a gentle sense of motion. Its italic stance and calligraphic inflection feel refined and traditional rather than flashy, suggesting editorial polish and classical taste. The overall impression is elegant and composed, with a slightly romantic, old-world warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional book-style italic: to provide emphasis within running text while retaining clarity and a calm, even color. Its details suggest an aim for timeless typographic character—stylish enough for display lines, but primarily tuned for comfortable reading and editorial credibility.
The sample text shows consistent slant and a smooth word-shape flow, with distinctive italic forms that enhance texture without becoming overly ornate. Numerals share the same calligraphic, serifed character, helping maintain stylistic continuity in text with figures.
