A softly slanted serif with gently rounded, slab-like terminals and smooth bracketing into the stems. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation and a calligraphic lean that keeps counters open and shapes readable. Proportions are moderately wide with a steady rhythm; capitals are simple and sturdy while lowercase forms are more animated, with a single-storey a and g and a long, descending j. Figures are straightforward and old-style in feel, with curved hooks and softened corners that match the letterforms.
Works well for short-to-medium editorial text where a relaxed, classic feel is desired, such as magazines, essays, and pull quotes. The softened slabs and italic energy also suit packaging, café/restaurant branding, and book covers where a friendly vintage note is beneficial.
The overall tone is warm and informal, suggesting a human hand rather than a strict mechanical construction. Its rounded slabs and easy italic slant give it a personable, slightly nostalgic voice that feels friendly and unpretentious.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness of slab-like serifs with rounded, forgiving terminals and an italic, hand-influenced flow. It aims for comfortable readability while adding character and warmth to headings and text settings.
Serifs and terminals tend to end in bulb-like, rounded feet rather than sharp cuts, helping the texture stay smooth in continuous text. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, supporting a cohesive page color in paragraphs.
