A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and strongly bracketed serifs that flare into soft, wedge-like terminals. Curves are full and slightly irregular in a hand-influenced way, with gently asymmetrical bowls and tapered joins that give the letterforms a lively rhythm. Capitals feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows pronounced italic construction (single-storey a and g, angled entry strokes, and a flowing f), keeping counters open and readable. Figures are old-style in spirit with varied proportions and subtle modulation, matching the text color of the alphabet.
This design suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where a traditional serif italic can add emphasis without breaking flow. It also works well for literary titles, pull quotes, introductions, and academic or cultural material that benefits from a classic, humanist texture.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a subtly handwritten warmth. Its italic slant and softly shaped serifs suggest historical printing and editorial sophistication rather than rigid modernity, making it feel personable and cultured.
The likely intention is to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with an old-style sensibility—combining dependable text performance with a touch of calligraphic individuality for expressive but controlled typography.
The texture on a line of text is slightly animated due to varied curves and tapered terminals, yet it maintains consistent spacing and an even overall color. The italic angle is noticeable without becoming overly cursive, supporting continuous reading while adding character.
