A gently slanted serif with soft, slab-like terminals and rounded, bracketed joins that keep the overall texture smooth. Strokes stay even with minimal modulation, while curves are generous and slightly squarish in places, giving counters a calm, open feel. Uppercase forms are compact and tidy; lowercase shows a short x-height with prominent ascenders/descenders that add vertical rhythm. Numerals are similarly rounded and slightly narrow, with simple, readable shapes that match the letterforms’ softened serif treatment.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a gentle italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or introductions. The distinctive rounded slabs and compact capitals also make it effective for book covers, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a warm, classic character.
The font reads as approachable and slightly whimsical, balancing a traditional literary tone with a hand-influenced liveliness. Its rounded terminals and easy slant give it a conversational, friendly voice rather than a formal, rigid one.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif with strong, softened terminals—combining sturdy, slab-like serifs with rounded shaping to keep text inviting and legible while adding personality.
Spacing appears moderately loose with a steady cadence in text, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The serif treatment is prominent without feeling sharp, helping maintain a soft edge in both display lines and paragraph settings.
