A heavy, right-leaning serif with rounded, bracketed terminals and a distinctly soft, inflated silhouette. Strokes are thick with modest contrast and smoothly curved joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Serifs read as blunted wedges rather than sharp hairlines, and many terminals end in subtle bulbous or teardrop-like forms, giving the letterforms a cushioned look. Overall spacing and proportions feel generous, with broad forms and stable, readable bowls in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, short editorial titles, pull quotes, and branding where a bold, characterful serif is needed. It can work well on packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy shapes and open counters, and it’s especially effective at larger sizes where the rounded detailing and terminal shapes are most visible.
The font conveys a warm, approachable tone with a clear retro flavor. Its softened serifs and rounded terminals produce a playful, friendly rhythm that feels more informal than traditional book faces, while still retaining enough structure to read as a classic serif idea.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif cues with a softer, more contemporary display sensibility. Its emphasis on rounded terminals, friendly proportions, and bold presence suggests a focus on high-impact typography that remains approachable and readable.
Uppercase forms are bold and steady with softened corners, while lowercase shows a lively, slightly calligraphic movement in the curves and terminals. Numerals follow the same rounded, weighty logic, helping the set feel cohesive in display settings where letters and figures mix.
