A slanted serif with old-style proportions and a gently calligraphic build. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with soft, bracketed serifs and subtly tapered terminals, producing a fluent, handwritten-influenced rhythm without becoming decorative. Counters are open and rounded, curves are slightly asymmetric in a humanist way, and the joins feel pen-driven rather than purely geometric. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with lining numerals that share the same serifed, flowing structure.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or extended passages with a classical feel. It can also serve in literary branding, refined packaging, or invitation-style materials where a warm, traditional serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, suggesting bookish refinement and a quiet, historical warmth. Its slant and soft detailing add a conversational, human presence while retaining formality appropriate for editorial work.
Designed to capture the readability and warmth of old-style serif italics, combining pen-influenced modulation with controlled, text-oriented proportions for a polished yet personable page texture.
Capital forms keep a restrained, classical stance with modest flourish, while the lowercase carries most of the movement and texture. The design maintains even color in text despite the modulation, and the shapes prioritize smooth reading flow over sharp, high-contrast sparkle.
