A serif italic with softly bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a slightly inked, hand-cut texture in the contours. Strokes show gentle modulation and tapered terminals, with noticeable asymmetry and irregular curves that keep the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Counters are moderately open, curves are full and slightly bulbous, and the overall set has a compact feel with small lowercase bodies and energetic ascenders/descenders. Figures follow the same calligraphic slant and soft shaping, matching the letters closely in color and tone.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a classic-yet-human serif voice is desirable. It also works for posters, menus, and packaging that benefit from an inviting, slightly vintage italic with strong presence at larger sizes.
The font reads as warm and literary, with a subtly old-fashioned, printmaking feel. Its italic movement and softened, irregular details give it a personable, storybook tone—expressive without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with calligraphic, hand-inked nuances, creating an italic that feels traditional but more expressive than a purely rational text face. Its emphasis on warmth and rhythm suggests use for display and short-to-medium passages where personality is welcome.
The sample text shows a strong, even typographic color at display sizes, with distinctive italic forms and a noticeable handcrafted flavor in repeated shapes. The capitals carry decorative inflections and curved serifs that add character, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, readable flow in longer lines.
