A gently slanted serif with softly bracketed, slab-like serifs and rounded terminals throughout. Strokes stay fairly even with subtle modulation, creating a smooth, low-contrast texture that reads cleanly at text sizes. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with a lively, handwritten-leaning rhythm; curves are generous and counters are open, while joins and ends avoid sharp corners in favor of a cushioned, inked feel.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a relaxed, human serif is desired—book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, and essays. It can also work for packaging or branding that aims for a handcrafted, heritage-leaning impression without becoming overly ornate.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a bookish, old-style charm. Its soft serifs and steady slant give it a conversational, slightly nostalgic voice—more personable than formal, and more literary than decorative.
The design appears intended to blend readable text rhythms with a softened slab-serif structure, adding warmth and personality through rounded endings and an easy slant. It prioritizes comfortable, continuous reading while retaining enough character for distinctive headings and short-form display.
Capitals feel upright in structure but follow the same soft-bracket treatment, giving headings a gentle presence rather than a crisp, high-contrast sparkle. Numerals are simple and rounded, matching the friendly, ink-on-paper character seen across the alphabet.
