An italicized slab-serif with a light, crisp stroke and gently bracketed serifs that read as sturdy without feeling heavy. The letterforms show subtle calligraphic influence: diagonals and joins have a smooth, pen-like rhythm, curves are generous, and terminals often finish with rounded, tapered flicks rather than blunt cuts. Proportions are comfortably open, with broad capitals, roomy sidebearings, and clear counters that keep the texture breathable in continuous text. Numerals follow the same slanted, old-style sensibility, with flowing curves and modest, stable serifs.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book and magazine settings, especially where an italic voice is used for emphasis, pull quotes, or chapter openers. It also fits refined branding and packaging, as well as invitations or cultural materials that benefit from a classic, handwritten-adjacent feel.
The overall tone feels cultured and classic—more bookish and poetic than corporate—while the lively slant adds momentum and a conversational warmth. It suggests traditional printing and editorial craft, with a slightly romantic, old-world polish.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic with traditional slab-serif structure, combining dependable serif footing with a graceful, pen-driven cadence. Its aim is to provide a distinctive, elegant texture for reading and display contexts without sacrificing clarity.
Capitals lean toward inscriptional elegance, while lowercase forms emphasize smooth entry/exit strokes and rounded bowls, creating a consistent, flowing line. The design maintains legibility through open apertures and restrained detailing, making the italic character expressive without becoming ornamental.
