An italic serif with slab-like, heavily bracketed terminals and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. The strokes stay fairly even in weight with modest modulation, while serifs flare into rounded, ink-trap-like joins that give the outlines a slightly hand-inked character. Proportions are compact with a relatively small x-height and lively rhythm; several letters show subtle asymmetry, curled terminals, and tapered entries that keep the texture from feeling mechanical.
Works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where a distinctive italic voice is desired. It also suits packaging, branding, and poster work that benefits from a nostalgic, crafted feel while maintaining clear letterforms.
The overall tone reads as vintage and literary, with a friendly, slightly whimsical warmth. Its soft slabs and cursive slant suggest classic print ephemera—inviting and expressive without becoming decorative script.
Likely intended to provide an expressive italic with sturdy, slabby serifs—combining the reliability of a serif text face with a more human, hand-printed cadence for display and editorial use.
Capitals have prominent, sculpted serifs and rounded internal curves that create a strong, recognizable silhouette. Numerals share the same softened slab treatment and appear designed to blend seamlessly in running text, reinforcing an old-style, bookish texture.
