A wide, monoline serif with soft, slab-like feet and generously rounded terminals. Strokes stay even with low contrast, and most joins and corners are eased into curves, giving the forms a cushioned, bulb-tipped feel. Proportions are roomy with broad counters and a steady baseline rhythm; widths vary naturally across letters, but the overall set reads expansive and open. Details like curled terminals and occasional looped shapes (notably in some capitals) add an ornamental, hand-drawn flavor without becoming script-like.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where its wide stance and soft slabs can be appreciated—posters, book covers, packaging, and brand marks. It also fits playful editorial contexts and children’s or family-oriented materials, while remaining legible enough for larger body copy in print or on screen.
The tone is cheerful and nostalgic, evoking mid-century display lettering and friendly editorial typography. Rounded slabs and soft curves keep it approachable, while the quirky swashes and loops introduce a light, storybook-like personality.
The design appears intended to blend sturdy slab-serif structure with rounded, decorative terminals to create a distinctive, welcoming voice. It prioritizes warmth and character over strict neutrality, aiming for memorable display typography that still retains clear letterforms.
The numeral set follows the same rounded, low-contrast construction, with open shapes and soft corners that keep figures readable at display sizes. The design’s distinctive character shows most strongly in capitals and in letters with terminals (C, G, J, S), where the curled endings become a defining motif.
