A calligraphic serif with a consistent rightward slant and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered terminals and slightly flared joins, giving the letterforms an inked, hand-press feel rather than a rigid geometric build. Counters are open and the rhythm is lively, with subtly irregular curves and a soft, organic texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same italicized, old-style sensibility, with rounded shapes and flowing entry/exit strokes that keep the set cohesive in running text.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where an expressive italic voice is desired. It can also work effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and refined packaging or branding that benefits from a classic, inked character.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a warm, human presence that suggests printed literature and editorial typography. Its italic energy reads expressive but controlled, adding emphasis without becoming decorative or flamboyant.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, readable italic with a humanist, print-informed texture—adding warmth and emphasis while retaining a conventional text-serifs foundation and dependable clarity in continuous setting.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while lowercase letters maintain clear differentiation and a steady baseline despite the slant. The italic angle is noticeable in both letters and figures, and the design’s small irregularities contribute to a textured, crafted color on the page.
