A slab-serif design with a consistent, monoline-like stroke and softly rounded corners throughout. Serifs are sturdy and mostly rectangular, often gently bracketed into the stems, giving the letters a stable footprint without feeling harsh. Proportions are slightly expanded with generous internal space, producing open counters and clear shapes in both upper- and lowercase. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), a compact ear on g, and a lightly hooked j; numerals are simple and readable with rounded joins and modest contrast in curvature rather than stroke weight.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, pull quotes, and magazine layouts where a steady reading rhythm is important. The confident slabs also make it effective for branding, packaging, and signage that wants a classic serif presence with a softer, more approachable finish.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a friendly warmth created by rounded terminals and calm, even rhythm. It suggests a traditional editorial voice—measured and trustworthy—while avoiding stiffness through softened details and airy spacing.
Likely intended to combine traditional slab-serif authority with rounded, contemporary softness for comfortable reading and versatile display use. The design emphasizes legibility through open counters and steady strokes while using gentle corner rounding to keep the tone inviting.
In text, the spacing and large counters help maintain clarity, and the slab serifs provide strong word shapes at larger sizes. The letterforms stay consistent across the set, with smooth curves on C/G/O and crisp, steady horizontals on E/F/T that reinforce a structured, legible texture.
