A soft slab-serif with rounded terminals and gently flared, bracket-like joins that give the strokes a cushioned, inked-in feel. Strokes stay relatively even with minimal contrast, while the serifs read as bold but not sharp, often ending in subtly bulbous, softened corners. Proportions lean slightly wide and open, with generous counters and apertures that keep the texture light and readable. Curves are smooth and somewhat springy, and the overall rhythm feels lively rather than strictly geometric or rigid.
Well-suited to editorial design, short-to-medium text passages, and display typography where a friendly serif voice is desired. It can work effectively for packaging, café/food branding, educational materials, and posters that benefit from a warm, slightly retro texture while remaining clear and legible.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a lightly nostalgic, print-oriented character. Its rounded slabs and soft edges suggest friendliness and informality without slipping into novelty, making it feel comfortable and familiar on the page.
The design appears intended to merge the solidity and structure of a slab-serif with softened, rounded finishing for a more approachable voice. It aims for clarity and consistency in continuous reading while providing enough personality for headlines and branded messaging.
Letterforms show a consistent preference for softened extremities and sturdy, stable footing, producing a confident text color at larger sizes. The figures share the same rounded, softly slabbed detailing, helping numerals blend naturally into running text and headings.
