A rounded slab-serif with a soft, monoline feel and generously wide proportions. Strokes stay even and confident, with rounded, bulb-like slab serifs and softened joins that create a smooth rhythm across lines. Curves are broad and open, counters are spacious, and the overall spacing reads airy, giving the alphabet a relaxed, readable texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Works well for headlines, posters, and signage where a wide, friendly slab-serif voice can stand out without feeling harsh. It also suits packaging and branding that want a retro-leaning, approachable personality, and it can hold up in short-to-medium blocks of text thanks to its open counters and even stroke weight.
The tone is friendly and slightly nostalgic, echoing mid-century sign lettering and paperback display type. Its rounded slabs and open forms keep it warm and approachable, while the wide set adds a casual, confident presence that feels more conversational than formal.
Likely designed to deliver a warm, rounded slab-serif alternative that feels bold in silhouette without relying on heavy contrast. The wide proportions and softened terminals suggest an intention toward approachable display typography that remains legible and steady in continuous reading.
The sample text shows consistent color and steady baseline behavior, with distinct letterforms that remain clear at paragraph sizes. The numerals and capitals carry a sturdy, poster-like solidity, while the lowercase maintains a soft, personable voice suited to longer phrases.
