A soft-shouldered italic slab serif with rounded, bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. The forms are sturdy and low-contrast, with a consistent rhythm and slightly springy, oldstyle proportions. Terminals and joins are smoothed rather than sharp, giving counters and apertures a mellow, ink-friendly look. Numerals and capitals keep the same rounded slab logic, producing a cohesive, readable texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and brand systems that want a classic serif tone with extra warmth. It can also work nicely on packaging and labels where the rounded slabs provide strong presence while maintaining readability, especially for pull quotes, intros, and short passages.
The overall tone feels approachable and nostalgic, like mid‑century editorial typography with a friendly, handmade warmth. Its italic slant adds motion and emphasis without becoming flamboyant, keeping the voice conversational and comfortable.
Likely designed to blend the firmness of slab serifs with softened, rounded detailing for a more inviting, print-forward italic. The aim appears to be a versatile serif voice that can carry longer text while adding character and emphasis through its gentle slant and cushioned terminals.
The italic construction reads as true italic rather than an oblique: curves and entry/exit strokes feel drawn, and the serif treatment stays rounded and sturdy across the set. The text sample shows even color and stable word shapes, suggesting it’s tuned for continuous reading as well as display accents.
