A low-contrast serif with soft, slab-like feet and subtly rounded terminals throughout. Strokes stay even and calm, with generous interior space and open apertures that keep the forms clear at text sizes. The lowercase shows straightforward construction with rounded shoulders and simple joins, while the uppercase keeps broad, stable proportions with restrained details. Numerals follow the same smooth, sturdy logic, reading cleanly with minimal flourish.
Well-suited for comfortable long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady rhythm and clear shapes matter. The softened slab details also work nicely for packaging and brand systems that want a dependable, approachable voice, as well as headings that need presence without sharpness.
The overall tone feels warm and familiar, blending a quietly classic, print-like sensibility with a friendly softness. Its rounded slab cues suggest a gently retro, utilitarian character without becoming harsh or mechanical.
Likely designed to combine the legibility and structure of a slab serif with rounded, human-friendly finishing, producing a practical text face that still carries a touch of vintage charm.
The serif treatment is consistent and slightly cushioned, giving ends a less abrupt feel than a sharp slab. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, supporting an even rhythm and a composed page color.
