This typeface is a lightly drawn italic with soft, bracketed slab-like serifs and subtly swelling curves that lend a hand-influenced rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even overall, with mild contrast showing up in curves and joins rather than in dramatic thick–thin transitions. Letterforms are open and rounded, with a relaxed slant and generous interior space; counters remain clear even at text sizes. Serifs are small but distinct and slightly curved, giving the outlines a smooth, continuous feel rather than sharp, mechanical corners.
It fits well in editorial typography—novels, essays, magazines, and pull quotes—where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a literary tone. It can also work for invitations, menus, and boutique packaging where a refined but personable texture is desirable, especially in short passages and titles set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is bookish and approachable, combining classical italic manners with a casual warmth. It suggests a literary, old-style sensibility without feeling overly formal, and the soft terminals keep it friendly and human rather than strict or technical.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with slab-like structure that still feels penned and rhythmic, balancing clarity in text with a gentle, expressive cadence. Its soft serifs and rounded joins aim to add character and warmth while keeping a coherent, readable texture across mixed-case settings.
The numerals follow the same lightly calligraphic logic, with a notably fluid, looped "2" and a curled terminal on "3," reinforcing the handwritten-italic impression. Uppercase forms read as refined and slightly ornamental, while the lowercase maintains an easy, steady flow that supports continuous reading.
