A soft-edged italic serif with sturdy, slab-like feet and gently bracketed joins. Strokes are smooth and low-contrast, with rounded corners and subtly tapered entry/exit strokes that keep forms from feeling rigid. The italics are moderately slanted and slightly calligraphic in rhythm, with open counters and a steady baseline presence. Numerals are friendly and curvy, and the overall texture reads even and readable without looking mechanical.
Works well for editorial pull quotes, short paragraphs, and headlines where you want warmth without losing clarity. Its sturdy serifs and smooth curves also suit packaging, café or boutique branding, and poster-style messaging that benefits from a retro-leaning italic voice.
The tone feels vintage and personable, like a warmed-up typewriter or bookish display italic. Rounded details and buoyant spacing lend a friendly, slightly whimsical character, while the firm serifs keep it grounded and practical.
Likely designed to blend a robust slab foundation with rounded, humanist italics to create an easygoing, readable face. The aim appears to be a versatile italic with personality—distinct enough for display use while remaining comfortable in longer settings.
Letterforms show consistent softening at terminals and corners, giving the face a cohesive “inked” feel. Capitals carry a classic serif structure, while lowercase forms lean more conversational and fluid, supporting a lively line rhythm in text.
