A right-leaning italic with softly sculpted, slab-like serifs and noticeably rounded terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast and a gently calligraphic modulation, with curved entries and exits that keep the texture fluid rather than mechanical. Proportions feel classical and slightly variable, with open counters and a steady rhythm that stays readable in continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle flavor, blending smoothly with the lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or passages that benefit from a warmer tone. It can also support branding and packaging that aim for a handcrafted, approachable sophistication, and works nicely for invitations or short-form display where its rounded slab details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lightly vintage, bookish character. Its rounded details and flowing italic movement lend an informal elegance—more personal and conversational than formal or rigid.
The design appears intended to combine the readability and tradition of an oldstyle italic with sturdier, softened serifs for added friendliness and presence. It aims for a smooth, flowing texture in text while retaining distinctive, characterful terminals that help it stand out in branding and display settings.
Serifs read as sturdy but softened, giving a hybrid feel between traditional text italics and a friendly, rounded display presence. The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, producing a cohesive slanted color and smooth word shapes.
