An italic serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed, gently tapered serifs. The letterforms show a noticeable forward slant and a lively, pen-like rhythm, with rounded transitions and subtly asymmetrical details that keep the texture warm. Proportions lean compact in the lowercase, with a relatively low x-height and clear ascender/descender activity, producing an airy line and a distinctly bookish color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interior work where an italic is used for emphasis, titles, and quotations. It also fits formal print and brand applications like invitations, certificates, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif with a gentle, expressive slant. For best results, it will reward moderate sizes and generous leading where its compact lowercase and brisk rhythm can breathe.
This typeface feels classic and literary, with a gently expressive, old-world tone. The italic stance and slightly calligraphic motion give it a refined, human touch that reads as cultivated rather than flashy. Overall it conveys tradition, seriousness, and a quiet elegance suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif voice with the added emphasis and grace of an italic. Its controlled contrast and familiar proportions aim for comfortable continuous reading while retaining a subtle handwritten energy for emphasis and nuance.
Uppercase forms have a dignified, slightly widened presence while remaining cohesive with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic motion and serifed structure, maintaining a consistent texture across mixed text.
