A sturdy italic serif with rounded, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. The forms lean consistently with a smooth, slightly springy rhythm, and curves swell subtly into terminals, giving an ink-on-paper feel. Counters are fairly open and the lowercase shows a traditional, oldstyle texture; the two-storey a and g and the softly modelled joins keep paragraphs cohesive. Figures appear text-oriented and varied in shape, matching the face’s organic movement rather than a rigid, geometric construction.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads, and it can also serve as a primary style for short passages at larger sizes. The strong presence and warm details make it effective for packaging, identity work, and heritage-leaning branding where a classic serif impression is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and personable—like a classic book italic with a touch of display energy. Its warmth and soft modelling suggest editorial credibility while still reading as lively and expressive.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a distinctly italic, calligraphic flavor, balancing sturdy weight with softened details. The aim appears to be an approachable, high-contrast-enough texture for print-like settings while retaining enough personality for display use.
Uppercase shapes read solid and slightly compact, with prominent serif feet and curved transitions that prevent the weight from feeling mechanical. The italic construction is clear without becoming overly cursive, and the spacing in the sample text supports a dense but readable color at larger text and headline sizes.
