A softly slanted serif with rounded, slab-like terminals and a light, even stroke. Letterforms show gentle modulation and curved joins rather than sharp corners, giving the serifs a cushioned feel. Proportions are open and readable with a steady rhythm, while certain characters introduce mild quirks—such as a decorative Q tail and subtly varied curves—adding texture without breaking consistency. Figures follow the same flowing, handwritten-leaning logic, keeping the set cohesive in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book or long-form reading, and any setting where an elegant italic serif can carry voice and nuance. It can also work for invitations, packaging, and boutique branding where a gentle, classic feel is desired.
The overall tone is graceful and literary, with a calm, human warmth. It reads as traditional yet unforced, suggesting a lightly calligraphic voice suited to refined, conversational typography rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with softened, rounded slab terminals and an italic, calligraphic cadence—aiming for readability in text while adding a distinctive, graceful personality.
The italic angle and rounded terminals create a continuous, left-to-right motion that keeps paragraphs feeling fluid. Spacing appears balanced and slightly generous, helping the light strokes stay clear at text sizes while preserving a delicate, polished presence.
