A softly slanted serif with slab-like, rounded serifs and consistently cushioned terminals. Strokes are even and calm, with subtle modulation rather than sharp contrast, producing a smooth, readable texture. The letterforms lean italic with a relaxed rhythm; curves are generous, joins are rounded, and counters stay open. Capitals feel classical and slightly compact, while the lowercase is more fluid, with single-storey a and g and a generally continuous, handwritten-like flow.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a warm serif texture is desired. It also fits invitations, packaging, and brand systems that want a traditional feel with softened edges, and works nicely for pull quotes and short headlines when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is approachable and literary—more friendly than formal. Its softened slabs and rounded details suggest a vintage, humanist sensibility, giving text a warm, conversational voice without becoming casual or playful.
This design appears intended to blend the sturdiness and presence of slab-like serifs with a softened, rounded finish and an italic, calligraphic rhythm. The goal seems to be a readable serif that feels welcoming and slightly vintage, prioritizing smooth texture and gentle character over sharp, high-contrast drama.
Numerals share the same rounded, slabbed finishing and maintain clear silhouettes, with curved forms (3, 6, 9) reading smoothly and the 0 appearing oval and open. The italic construction is evident across both cases, with gently angled stress and softened entry/exit strokes that keep word shapes cohesive.
