A slanted serif design with sturdy, slab-like feet and noticeably rounded terminals. Strokes stay fairly even, with gentle modulation and softened joins that keep counters open and readable. The letterforms are broad and relaxed, with a steady rhythm and slightly calligraphic, right-leaning momentum. Serifs appear bracketed and cushioned rather than sharp, giving caps and lowercase a smooth, accommodating finish.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and long-form reading where a friendly serif can carry comfortable rhythm. It also works for branding, packaging, and headlines that want a vintage, typewriter-adjacent personality without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone feels warm and approachable, echoing typewriter and mid-century print textures without looking distressed. Its rounded slab serifs and easy slant lend a conversational, informal voice that still reads as editorial and literate.
The design appears intended to blend sturdy slab-serif structure with rounded, softened details and an italic forward lean. The goal reads as a practical, readable serif with an inviting, nostalgic voice suitable for both text and display contexts.
Figures are clear and uncomplicated, matching the same soft-ended serif logic as the letters. The italic slant is consistent across the set, and the generous widths help maintain clarity in longer lines while keeping a distinctly classic, analog flavor.
