A sturdy serif with slab-like, rounded-ended serifs and softly blunted corners throughout. Strokes are mostly even, with gentle modulation and smooth joins that keep the texture calm and consistent. The letterforms lean toward compact, slightly squarish proportions with ample counters, and the lowercase shows a clear two-storey “a” and “g” alongside a sturdy, footed “l.” Figures are simple and open, matching the overall blunt, workmanlike construction.
Works well for editorial layouts, book or magazine text, and pull quotes where a sturdy serif texture is desired. The rounded slab detailing also suits packaging, menus, and brand applications that need a dependable, friendly voice. At larger sizes it can deliver a confident, retro-leaning headline presence without feeling harsh.
The overall tone feels warm and approachable, with a mild retro flavor reminiscent of mid-century print and typewriter-adjacent signage. Rounded terminals and heavy, stable serifs add friendliness while keeping the voice dependable and readable.
The design appears intended to provide the solidity and clarity of a slab-serif structure while softening the tone through rounded terminals and corners. This creates a practical, readable serif with a personable character that can move between text and display contexts.
In text, the serif shapes create a pronounced rhythm and strong baseline anchoring, while the rounded finishing softens what would otherwise read as purely industrial. The design balances sturdy presence with a surprisingly gentle color, making it suitable for longer passages as well as display sizes.
