A heavy, soft-edged slab serif with rounded terminals and generously bracketed, blocky serifs that read almost like cushioned rectangles. Strokes are low-contrast with smooth joins and broad curves, creating a robust, even texture across lines. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places with compact counters and a steady rhythm, while the lowercase maintains clear, straightforward forms and a moderate x-height. Numerals and capitals are wide-shouldered and weighty, emphasizing solidity and readability.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and display copy where a sturdy, inviting serif can carry personality. It can also work for branding, packaging, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a strong, readable voice with retro warmth.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a nostalgic, print-like presence. Rounded slabs keep the voice friendly rather than severe, giving it a comforting, down-to-earth character that still feels confident and emphatic.
The design appears intended to combine the firmness of slab serifs with softened, rounded terminals for an accessible, contemporary-friendly take on a classic display serif. It prioritizes strong presence, legibility, and a cozy printed feel over delicate detailing.
The font’s softened corners and consistent weight make it hold up well at larger sizes, where the rounded slab details become a defining feature. In text settings it produces a dark, authoritative color without looking sharp or brittle.
