A sturdy slab-serif with softly rounded corners and bracketed, bulbed serifs that read almost like stamped or typewriter-touched terminals. Strokes stay largely even, with minimal contrast and a calm vertical stress, while the overall proportions are on the wider side with open counters. The lowercase shows a compact, workmanlike construction with single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm created by the rounded feet and curved joins.
This face fits comfortably in editorial settings where a friendly slab can carry long-form text without looking too sharp or formal. It also performs well in branding, packaging, and poster work where its rounded slabs and wide stance create confident, personable headlines.
The tone is warm and familiar, mixing utilitarian clarity with a lightly nostalgic, printed feel. Its softened slabs keep it from feeling severe, giving it an approachable, mildly quirky personality suited to conversational typography.
The design appears intended to blend the firmness of a slab-serif with rounded, humanized finishing, producing a dependable text-and-display hybrid that feels printed and approachable rather than strictly industrial.
Round dots and softly finished terminals help maintain legibility at text sizes, while the wide set and pronounced slabs give headings a solid, grounded presence. Numerals are similarly sturdy and readable, with simple, classic shapes that match the text color and rhythm.
