An italic serif with calligraphic energy, showing subtly angled stress and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with tapered terminals that keep the texture lively. Proportions feel traditional and warm, with rounded bowls, open counters, and a gently uneven, organic edge that suggests pen-influenced shaping. The italic is expressive without becoming overly swashy, maintaining readable word shapes in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, long-form articles, essays, and literary branding where a warmer, more traditional voice is desired. It can also work for invitations, cultural programs, museum or heritage materials, and packaging that benefits from an artisanal, classic feel. In display sizes it adds personality, while in paragraphs it maintains an even, readable color.
This typeface conveys a literary, old-world warmth with an informal, handwritten undertone. Its steady rhythm and soft, slightly quirky details feel personable and human rather than strictly mechanical. The overall tone is classic and cultured, with a gentle, storybook charm.
The design appears intended to bring a human, bookish texture to reading sizes while retaining a familiar serif structure. Its italic character seems used to add motion and emphasis, balancing expressive terminals with stable, conventional letterforms for sustained use.
The numerals share the same pen-influenced modulation and italic stance, helping them blend smoothly into text. Uppercase forms read stately but not rigid, and lowercase shapes keep a lively cadence that gives paragraphs a gently animated texture.
