A monoline slab serif with soft, rounded bracketed slabs and pronounced bulb/ball terminals that give the strokes a stamped, slightly blobby silhouette. Curves are generously rounded, counters are open, and joins tend to swell subtly, creating a hand-inked, tactile texture. The uppercase reads sturdy and compact, while the lowercase shows a playful rhythm with single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and wide, footed stems. Figures are rounded and weighty with the same softened slab treatment, keeping a consistent, sturdy color across lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, packaging, posters, and branding that benefits from a vintage or handmade voice. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or captions where a warm, tactile texture is desired, especially in print-forward designs.
The overall tone is warm and nostalgic, evoking old printing, craft labels, and typewriter-era ephemera. Its softened slabs and bubbly terminals feel approachable and slightly whimsical rather than formal, lending an artisanal, storybook character.
The design appears intended to reinterpret sturdy slab-serif structure with softened, rounded terminals to produce a friendly, nostalgic display texture. It prioritizes character and tactile presence over crisp, modern precision, aiming for an approachable, crafted feel.
The chunky terminals and rounded slabs create a lively sparkle at small sizes, but the distinctive terminal shapes and dense stroke endings become most expressive at display and short-text settings. Curved letters (C, G, S) lean into a soft, swollen contour that reinforces the font’s handmade, inked impression.
