A slanted serif with gently rounded, slab-like terminals and soft bracket transitions. Strokes are smooth and even, with an understated contrast and a consistent, slightly calligraphic rhythm. The capitals are open and clean with modest detailing, while the lowercase shows lively, humanist proportions and a subtly varied texture across the line. Numerals follow the same rounded, sturdy serif logic, reading clearly without feeling rigid.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and any setting that benefits from an inviting italic voice with clear letterforms. It can also work effectively in branding and packaging where a classic feel is desired without appearing stiff.
The overall tone feels bookish and personable—traditional enough for long-form reading, but softened by rounded serifs and a relaxed slant. It evokes an editorial, literary voice rather than a strict formal one, with a friendly warmth that keeps the texture approachable.
The design appears intended to provide an italic serif with sturdy, rounded slab-like serifs and a calm reading texture, balancing traditional forms with softened terminals for a more contemporary, approachable character.
Curves tend to be generous and open (notably in C/G/O and the bowls), and terminals avoid sharp cuts in favor of softened endings. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain flow in continuous text.
