A slanted serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show gentle modulation and rounded entry/exit terminals that keep the texture smooth, while the letterforms maintain clear, traditional proportions rather than extreme narrowness or expansion. The italic angle is steady and the rhythm is lively, with slightly varied stroke endings and a hand-drawn feel that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an expressive italic texture is desirable. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and invitation-style work that benefits from a classic, cultured tone, especially for headlines, pull quotes, and emphasis within text.
The overall tone feels literary and elegant, with a human, handwritten undercurrent that reads as cultured rather than ornate. It suggests classic print typography and lends a warm, fluent voice to text, balancing refinement with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with an italic voice that feels genuinely pen-influenced. Its aim is to provide comfortable readability while adding graceful motion and a traditional, literary character.
Uppercase forms look restrained and formal, while the lowercase carries more movement and personality, creating a pleasant hierarchy in mixed-case settings. The numerals share the same slanted, calligraphic logic, helping text and data feel cohesive in running copy.
