A monoline serif with softly rounded, slab-like serifs and ball-like terminals that give the strokes a cushioned, inked feel. The letterforms are narrow and compact, with open counters and gently curved joins that keep the texture light despite the chunky serif shapes. Curves tend to be slightly flattened and the ends of horizontals and serifs are visibly rounded, creating a consistent, softened silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best in headlines, subheads, packaging, and poster-style copy where its rounded slab serifs can provide personality and structure. It can also fit playful editorial uses, book covers, and children’s or classroom-adjacent materials, especially where a friendly serif is desired without high contrast.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a mild retro and handmade character. Its rounded details and slightly quirky proportions read as friendly and informal rather than strict or mechanical, making it feel well-suited to expressive, human-centered typography.
The design appears intended to blend the stability of a slab serif with softened, rounded terminals for a more personable voice. It aims for legibility through simple, even strokes while adding charm through rounded serifs and subtly idiosyncratic shaping.
Caps feel sturdy and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and readable word shapes at text sizes. Numerals share the same rounded terminals and compact stance, helping the set look cohesive in headings, labels, and short UI-like strings.
