A softly slanted serif with slab-like feet and rounded terminals throughout. Strokes stay largely even, with gentle swelling at curves and a drawn, pen-led rhythm rather than a rigid geometric build. The italics are true in structure, using single-storey forms in the lowercase (notably a and g) and a flowing, open join behavior that keeps counters airy. Capitals are slightly narrow and elegant with understated serifs, while the lowercase feels more relaxed and handwritten; figures echo the same rounded, lightly bracketed detailing.
Well suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, sidebars, pull quotes, or short passages. Its friendly, crafted texture also fits packaging, café or boutique branding, invitations, and other applications that benefit from a warm, classic tone without strict formality.
The overall tone is approachable and literary, blending a traditional book-italic sensibility with a casual, human touch. It reads as polite and personable rather than formal, with a hint of vintage charm from its softened slab serifs and calligraphic movement.
The design appears intended to provide an italic serif that feels human and inviting, combining sturdy slab-like serifs with rounded, pen-informed forms to maintain legibility while adding personality in both display and short text use.
Rounded dots and terminals, plus the buoyant stroke endings in letters like c, e, and s, give the texture a gentle sparkle at text sizes. The slant is consistent and the spacing feels comfortably open, producing a smooth line without looking mechanical.
