A compact serif with chunky, slab-like feet and noticeably rounded corners throughout. Strokes are sturdy and low-contrast, with softened terminals that give the serifs a cushioned, almost stamped feel rather than sharp brackets. Counters are open and straightforward, and the overall rhythm is slightly bouncy due to the rounded joins and small asymmetries typical of a hand-set or typewriter-adjacent aesthetic. Numerals follow the same soft, sturdy construction, staying clear and evenly weighted alongside the letters.
It performs best in display and short-to-medium text where its rounded slabs can contribute personality without sacrificing clarity. Suitable for branding systems, packaging labels, posters, and editorial callouts that want a vintage, approachable voice.
The font reads as personable and nostalgic, combining solid, no-nonsense letterforms with gentle rounding that keeps the tone light. It evokes mid-century print and casual editorial work—confident enough for headings, but friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to blend sturdy slab-serif structure with rounded, friendly detailing, delivering a readable face that feels classic but informal. Its softened corners and consistent weight suggest a focus on warmth and print-like texture over crisp modern precision.
Uppercase forms keep simple geometry and strong silhouettes, while lowercase adds more character through rounded shoulders and softened hooks. The punctuation and dots appear heavy and rounded, reinforcing the overall tactile, inked impression in text.
