A rounded slab serif with sturdy, monoline strokes and soft, bulb-like terminals. The serifs read as thick and cushioned rather than sharp, giving the letterforms a smooth, stamped feel. Proportions run generously wide with open counters and broadly arched curves, while joins and corners are noticeably rounded to keep the rhythm gentle. Lowercase forms are compact and legible, with simple, single-storey shapes and a clear, even texture in paragraph settings.
This font works especially well for short-to-medium headlines, posters, and signage where its wide stance and rounded slabs can carry personality. It also fits packaging, labels, and editorial display moments that want a retro, friendly voice. In larger text blocks it remains readable, but its strong texture and width are best used when you want the typography to be part of the visual identity.
The overall tone is warm and informal, mixing a vintage, typewriter-adjacent flavor with a playful softness. Its rounded slabs and broad proportions feel welcoming and slightly quirky, more casual than corporate. The texture suggests something tactile—like printing, signage, or packaging—rather than a cold digital aesthetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif structure while softening it with rounded terminals and generous width. It aims for an approachable, nostalgic display voice that stays legible and cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
In text, the wide set and rounded detailing create a strong horizontal flow, with sturdy word shapes and clear punctuation. The numerals and caps carry the same soft-slab logic, giving headlines a bold presence without becoming aggressive.
