A softly braced slab-serif with rounded terminals and gently flared, cushion-like serifs that read clearly without sharp corners. Strokes are fairly even with subtle modulation, and joins tend to be smooth and slightly blunted, giving an inked, tactile feel. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters; the lowercase shows a two-storey “g” and “a,” a single-storey “e” with a relaxed crossbar, and a compact, readable rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the rounded slab treatment and maintaining consistent color in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and product packaging where a friendly slab voice helps maintain readability. It can also support branding and headlines that want a retro, approachable character without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is warm and personable—more inviting than formal—while still feeling literary and dependable. Its soft edges and slightly nostalgic shapes evoke printed ephemera and mid-century editorial work, balancing charm with legibility.
The design intention appears to be a readable slab serif that softens traditional slab rigidity through rounded terminals and gentle shaping, creating a warm texture for continuous text and compact display settings.
Capitals have a calm, steady stance with broad serifs and rounded corners that prevent the texture from feeling brittle. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, and spacing looks designed to hold together well in paragraph-like settings.
