A compact slab-serif with heavy, softly rounded terminals and minimal stroke contrast. Serifs are blocky and blunt, often ending in rounded corners that give the outlines a cushioned feel. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is steady and dense, with short extenders and a slightly compressed stance. Numerals and capitals carry the same sturdy, softened slab treatment, producing a consistent, ink-friendly silhouette.
Best suited for short-to-medium text where a robust, characterful slab presence is desired—headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or subheads when you want a dense, sturdy texture that stays approachable.
The rounded slabs and weighty construction create a warm, dependable tone with a hint of nostalgia. It feels practical and workmanlike, yet the softened corners keep it from becoming stern, making it read as friendly and slightly playful in headlines.
Likely designed to deliver a strong slab-serif voice with softened edges for a more inviting, contemporary-retro feel. The consistent weight and rounded slab details suggest an emphasis on durability, clarity, and a distinctive display personality without relying on high contrast or delicate features.
In the sample text, the strong verticals and chunky serifs hold together well at larger sizes and maintain clear word shapes despite the compact proportions. The rounded terminals help smooth out the texture, reducing harshness and giving the face a cohesive, branded look.
