A soft slab-serif design with generously rounded terminals and thick, cushioned serifs that read as small “feet” on many strokes. Strokes are sturdy and fairly even, with gentle modulation and a slightly hand-drawn, wobbly rhythm that keeps forms lively rather than mechanical. Curves are full and open, counters are ample, and joins tend to be rounded, producing a comfortable texture in text. Capitals feel broad and decorative without becoming ornate, while the lowercase maintains clear silhouettes with a jaunty, irregular cadence; numerals share the same rounded, friendly construction.
Well-suited to packaging, labels, and boutique branding that benefit from a friendly, handmade-leaning slab-serif voice. Its rounded slabs and open forms make it effective for headlines, posters, book covers, and short-to-medium passages where you want warmth and character without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, mixing a vintage print sensibility with a playful, informal charm. It suggests craft, storytelling, and lighthearted branding rather than corporate neutrality, with enough structure to remain readable while still feeling characterful.
The design appears intended to combine the dependable structure of a slab serif with softened, rounded finishing to create an inviting, contemporary-retro display text face. Its consistent weight and lively shaping aim to deliver a distinctive voice that feels crafted and personable in both titling and readable settings.
The typeface has a slightly bouncy baseline impression and a soft, inked look in the way terminals swell, which helps it stand out at display sizes. The sturdy serifs and open shapes also keep longer lines from feeling too delicate, though the personality remains prominent in continuous text.
