A serif italic with an oldstyle, humanist skeleton and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a smooth, calligraphy-derived modulation with rounded joins and tapered terminals, creating an even, flowing rhythm in text. The italic angle is moderate and consistent, with softly cupped serifs and slightly asymmetric curves that keep forms lively. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with open counters and comfortable spacing that reads clearly at paragraph sizes.
Well-suited to extended reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, quotations, or a fully italic setting. It also fits refined branding copy, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic, literary voice and a smooth text rhythm.
The face conveys a classic, bookish tone—polished without feeling rigid. Its warm, handwritten undercurrent adds a personable sophistication, suggesting editorial credibility and quiet elegance rather than display drama.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, traditional italic for text typography—combining classical serif conventions with a subtle calligraphic influence to maintain readability while adding graceful movement and warmth.
Uppercase letters stay restrained and traditional, while the lowercase shows more personality through curved entry strokes and subtly varied terminal shapes. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle sensibility, blending smoothly with running text and maintaining the font’s fluid, continuous texture.
