A compact slab-serif with softly rounded, bulb-like serifs and terminals that give each stroke a cushioned, stamped look. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with gentle tapering and slight wobble that suggests hand-cut or letterpress texture rather than rigid geometry. Counters are open and simple, and the overall rhythm is lively, with subtle irregularities in curves and joins that keep repeated letters from feeling overly mechanical. Numerals follow the same friendly slab treatment, reading clearly with sturdy, centered forms.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a friendly, vintage-leaning voice is desired—such as headlines, packaging copy, café/market branding, posters, and labels. It can also suit educational or children’s materials thanks to its soft terminals and sturdy letterforms.
The tone is warm and approachable, mixing a nostalgic print-shop character with a lighthearted, storybook sensibility. Its rounded slabs soften the usual sturdiness of a slab serif, making the face feel companionable and slightly whimsical rather than stern or corporate.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif backbone while injecting warmth through rounded terminals and mild irregularity, evoking letterpress and handmade signage. The goal appears to be approachable readability with a distinctive, folksy texture that stands out in display settings.
The most distinctive feature is the serif treatment: short, rounded slabs that behave like small caps or blobs at ends and corners, creating a consistent dotted rhythm across text. In running copy, the texture becomes pleasantly bouncy, with enough structure to stay readable while still feeling informal.
