A slightly slanted slab-serif with generously bracketted, softened serifs and rounded stroke endings that keep the texture smooth and continuous. Strokes stay fairly even, with gentle modulation and broad curves, giving counters a roomy, open feel. The capitals are sturdy and classical, while the lowercase shows a more text-oriented rhythm with softly tapered joins and a compact, readable silhouette. Numerals and punctuation follow the same rounded slab treatment, with oldstyle-like proportions that sit comfortably in running text.
Well suited for editorial typography where a friendly, classic serif voice is desired—magazine features, book interiors, and long-form reading. It can also support branding and packaging that want a heritage cue with a softer, more approachable edge, and it scales nicely for subheads and pull quotes.
The overall tone is literary and human, with a quiet vintage flavor that feels more inviting than formal. The slant and softened slabs add a conversational warmth, suggesting printed pages, editorial design, and traditional craftsmanship without looking stiff.
Designed to blend traditional slab-serif sturdiness with softened terminals and a continuous, text-friendly rhythm, creating a readable italic voice that feels warm and contemporary while nodding to vintage print.
The italics lean reads as integrated rather than decorative, maintaining consistent serif shapes and a steady line color. The rounded slabs prevent harsh corners at display sizes, while the open apertures and clear forms keep the style legible in paragraphs.
