A compact slab-serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and softly rounded corners throughout. Serifs are blocky and blunt with curved terminals, giving the letterforms a cushioned, inked look rather than sharp geometry. Curves are generous and slightly squarish, counters are relatively tight, and joins stay simple and sturdy, producing a consistent rhythm in text. Numerals match the same robust, rounded slab construction for a uniform color on the page.
Well suited to posters, headlines, and branding where a compact, friendly slab voice is desired. It can work for packaging and label-style design, as well as editorial pull quotes and subheads that benefit from strong emphasis and a slightly retro, approachable texture.
The overall tone feels friendly and nostalgic, like classic print or typewriter-era display, but cleaner and more intentional. Its rounded slabs add warmth and approachability while the dense weight keeps it confident and grounded. The result is playful without becoming whimsical, and solid without feeling severe.
The font appears designed to blend the firmness of a slab serif with rounded terminals for a softer, more welcoming personality. It aims to deliver high impact in compact widths while maintaining clear, consistent shapes across the alphabet and numerals.
The design reads best at display and short-text sizes where the soft slabs and tight counters create a distinctive texture. Spacing appears even and the forms stay highly consistent across upper- and lowercase, reinforcing a steady, no-nonsense presence with a gentle edge.
