A slanted, high-contrast serif with a calligraphic construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear thick–thin rhythm with tapered entries and rounded terminals, including teardrop/ball-like finishing on several letters. The lowercase has a lively, slightly variable texture with modest ascenders and descenders and an overall even x-height, while capitals are broad and gently sculpted. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and soft curves, reinforcing the handwritten-influenced, bookish color on the page.
Well suited for editorial typography, book or chapter titles, pull quotes, and cultural or heritage branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for invitations, menus, and packaging that benefit from a refined, handwritten-inflected serif texture.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a human, pen-made warmth. Its italic lean and flourishing terminals add a polite sense of formality and movement, suggesting tradition without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of formal pen lettering within a structured serif framework, providing an expressive italic style that remains readable and polished in continuous text.
Spacing reads comfortably open in text, and the contrast produces a crisp sparkle at display sizes. The combination of rounded terminals and bracketed serifs keeps the forms approachable while maintaining a formal typographic presence.
