An italic serif with lively, calligraphic construction and noticeable thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a slightly textured, inked quality, with tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel hand-influenced rather than rigidly mechanical. Counters are open and rounded, and many joins have gentle swelling, giving the face a soft, oldstyle rhythm. The capitals are slightly narrow and animated, while lowercase forms keep a readable, bookish skeleton with occasional flourish in descenders and entry strokes; figures match the slanted, drawn character and vary in width.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or heritage-minded branding where an italic voice is desirable. It can also work effectively in invitations, menus, and packaging that benefit from a refined yet personable texture, especially at display or comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a touch of playful eccentricity that reads as vintage and human. It suggests traditional printing and handwritten influence, balancing elegance with an approachable, storybook warmth.
Likely designed to evoke a traditional italic text face with visible hand-drawn personality—aiming for a classic serif reading experience while adding character through calligraphic stroke behavior and gently imperfect contours.
The slant is consistent and the contrast is expressed through both stroke weight changes and tapered endings, which adds sparkle in larger sizes. The roughened outlines and subtly irregular curves introduce a crafted feel that may become more pronounced as size increases.
