A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate modulation with diagonal stress, producing a fluid rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. Letterforms are generously rounded, with open counters and slightly tapered joins; several lowercase forms (notably a, e, f, g, y) lean into handwritten cues through curved terminals and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic flow, with rounded shapes and distinctive, curled details that keep figures expressive while remaining legible.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic with strong identity is needed—pull quotes, intros, captions, and emphasis within longer reading. It can also serve in book and magazine settings for a traditional, polished tone, and in refined printed materials like invitations or programs where a calligraphic serif italic is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, humanist cadence that reads as cultured rather than formal. Its italic energy feels expressive and conversational, suited to emphasis and narrative voice without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to provide a conventional text serif italic with a noticeably human, calligraphic texture—balancing readability with expressive movement for literary and editorial use.
Spacing appears comfortable and text color is even for an italic, helped by broad curves and clear internal space. The uppercase maintains a classical presence, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through curved terminals and subtly varied stroke endings.
