A sturdy, rounded slab-serif with softly blunted terminals and generous, blocky proportions. Strokes stay mostly even, with minimal modulation, giving the letters a solid, printed feel. The serifs are thick and cushion-like rather than sharp, and curves (C, G, O, e) are broad with smooth joins. Counters are open and the rhythm is calm and consistent, supporting clear word shapes in text while keeping a distinctive, slightly chunky texture.
Works well for headlines, short-form editorial typography, packaging, and brand marks that want a sturdy, personable serif voice. It also holds up in larger text blocks where a warm, printed texture is desirable, such as pull quotes, menus, or promotional copy.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a retro, editorial flavor reminiscent of mid-century printing and typewriter-adjacent display styles. Its rounded slabs soften the voice, making it feel friendly and informal rather than strictly institutional. The result is confident and sturdy without looking aggressive.
Likely designed to combine the dependability of a slab serif with softened, rounded details for a more inviting, contemporary-heritage look. The emphasis appears to be on strong readability and a distinctive, friendly texture suited to display and brand-forward applications.
Uppercase forms read as bold and steady, while lowercase maintains compact, readable silhouettes with rounded shoulders and pronounced feet. Numerals are heavy and clear, matching the same soft-serif treatment for cohesive setting in headlines or short paragraphs.
