A soft-edged slab serif with rounded, cushioned terminals and low-contrast strokes. The letterforms show a steady, even rhythm with broad proportions and open counters that keep the texture airy. Serifs read as sturdy but blunted, with gently bracketed joins and subtly rounded corners throughout. Curves (C, G, S, O) are smooth and fairly circular, while horizontals and verticals stay consistent in weight, producing a calm, readable color in text.
Works well for editorial applications where a welcoming, slightly retro slab serif is desired, including magazines, catalogs, and book interiors at comfortable sizes. Its broad shapes and rounded serifs also suit packaging, café/retail signage, and brand headlines that need approachability without losing structure.
The overall tone feels warm and personable, like a modern take on a vintage book or typewriter-influenced slab. Rounded details soften the structure, giving it a friendly, informal voice while still retaining enough typographic discipline for sustained reading.
Likely intended to combine the dependable readability of a slab serif with softened terminals for a more human, friendly texture. The wide, open forms and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on clarity in both display and text settings while maintaining a distinctive, vintage-leaning personality.
In the sample text the spacing and proportions create a relaxed, unhurried texture, with punctuation and numerals matching the same rounded, steady construction. The design balances sturdiness with softness, avoiding sharp corners and aggressive contrast.
