A slanted slab-serif with softly rounded corners and thick, cushioned terminals. Strokes are largely even, with gentle modulation and smooth joins that keep the texture calm and steady in text. Serifs are sturdy and rounded rather than sharp, and many terminals end in subtle ball-like forms that add a slightly “inked” look. The overall rhythm is slightly bouncy, with open counters and a comfortable, readable silhouette across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited to editorial layouts, pull quotes, and bookish packaging where an italic voice is needed without looking delicate. It can also work for retro-leaning branding and short headlines, delivering a bold, friendly serif texture while remaining readable in paragraphs.
The face feels warm and approachable, with a nostalgic, print-era flavor. Its rounded slabs and soft terminals give it a friendly, conversational tone—more inviting than formal—while still reading as a structured serif.
The design appears intended to provide an italic companion with strong, rounded slab serifs—capturing a vintage, ink-on-paper personality while keeping an even, contemporary readability. Its softened geometry suggests a focus on approachability and robustness rather than high-contrast elegance.
Several letters show distinctive, curved terminals and soft bracketing that help maintain legibility at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded, sturdy construction, keeping a consistent color and spacing in running text.
