An italic serif with sturdy, slab-like feet and gently rounded, bracketed transitions. Strokes stay fairly even, with only modest modulation, and the serifs read as blunt but softened rather than razor-sharp. Proportions feel compact in the lowercase, with a relatively short x-height and pronounced ascenders/descenders that add vertical rhythm. The drawing leans oldstyle in its curves and joins, with rounded terminals and slightly uneven, organic contours that keep the texture from feeling overly mechanical.
Well suited to continuous reading in books and editorial layouts where a warm italic texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and refined packaging or invitation work where a classic serif italic can add emphasis without turning decorative.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, with a friendly softness that avoids austerity. Its italic energy gives it a conversational, slightly expressive voice, making it feel elegant but not formal to the point of stiffness.
The design appears aimed at providing a readable italic serif with a robust, softened slab presence—balancing traditional bookish cues with rounded, approachable details. It prioritizes steady paragraph color and comfortable rhythm while retaining enough italic character to handle emphasis gracefully.
Capitals are clean and stable while the lowercase carries most of the motion, creating a readable, gently textured line in paragraphs. Numerals appear lining and italic, matching the same softened slab treatment for a cohesive typographic color.
