A right-leaning serif with a calligraphic skeleton and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show tapered terminals and moderate thick–thin modulation, with smooth curves and slightly swelling joins that give the texture a fluid rhythm. Capitals are open and round with understated detailing, while lowercase forms are compact and energetic, featuring single-storey a and g and an italic f with a long descender. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with oval, slanted forms and softly finished terminals that keep the overall color even in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and clear italic forms support comfortable flow. It also works effectively for pull quotes, front matter, and formal stationery that benefits from a refined, traditional voice.
The font reads as classic and literary, with a composed, traditional tone softened by handwritten movement. Its slant and tapered finishing add warmth and elegance without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a true italic character, balancing readability with a subtle calligraphic flourish. It aims to provide an elegant, dependable texture for continuous reading while maintaining a distinct, graceful personality.
Letterfit appears comfortable and text-oriented, producing an even, lightly animated line. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings feel unified.
