An italic slab-serif with softly rounded, heavy serifs and blunt, cushioned terminals. Strokes are largely monoline with gentle swelling, and the italic angle reads as a steady rightward slant rather than a sharp cursive construction. The letterforms feel slightly irregular in rhythm, with subtly varying widths and open counters that keep the texture breathable. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in bowls and the “O/Q”), while joins and feet keep a sturdy, planted stance.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where an expressive italic can add personality without sacrificing clarity. It also fits book covers, posters, and packaging that benefit from a retro, type-driven voice and a warm, approachable texture.
The overall tone is friendly and nostalgic, evoking printed ephemera and bookish editorial settings rather than sleek modern branding. Its rounded slabs and relaxed italic give it a conversational, human feel—confident but not formal—suggesting a vintage, writerly character.
Likely designed to blend the authority of a slab serif with the softness of rounded terminals, producing an italic that feels personable and readable. The aim appears to be a vintage-leaning display/text hybrid that adds character and motion while keeping a stable, printed rhythm.
Capitals appear upright-italicized with clear slab structure, while lowercase shows a more lively, handwritten cadence. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the slab-serif voice and maintaining consistent color alongside text.
