A robust italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a clearly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with soft, swelling curves and tapered terminals, producing an energetic baseline rhythm. The capitals are broad and slightly leaning, with strong diagonals and rounded joins; the lowercase shows compact counters and pronounced entry/exit strokes that add movement. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved forms and varying widths that match the text’s lively texture.
Well suited for book and magazine typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings. It can also work in premium packaging and branding where a traditional, cultivated voice is desired, especially at medium to larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial seriousness. Its confident italic slant and warm, rounded modeling add a touch of personality, making it feel authoritative without becoming rigid.
The design appears intended as a readable, traditional italic that carries the warmth of pen-driven forms while maintaining the structure expected of a conventional text serif. Its sturdy weight and lively modulation suggest it’s meant to stand up in continuous text while providing clear emphasis and a distinctive editorial color.
The texture in paragraph settings appears dense and emphatic, with strong word shapes and noticeable italic gestures in letters like a, f, g, and y. Terminals tend to finish with subtle hooks or teardrop-like tapers, reinforcing the handwritten influence while staying within a conventional text-serif framework.
