A rounded slab serif with soft, bulbous terminals and gently bracketed feet that give strokes a cushioned, hand-tooled feel. The outlines are smooth and low-contrast, with subtly irregular curvature that reads more organic than mechanical. Capitals are sturdy and open, while lowercase forms are compact with a modest x-height and generous counters, producing a calm, readable rhythm. Numerals are similarly rounded and slightly quirky in construction, matching the letterforms’ softened corners and friendly texture.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and pull quotes where a friendly slab serif can add warmth and presence. It also fits packaging and boutique branding that benefits from a handcrafted, vintage-leaning voice. In longer passages it can work for readable, characterful text—especially in print-oriented layouts—while its rounded slabs help it hold up at display sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lightly nostalgic, print-era character. Its softened slabs and rounded joins suggest a casual confidence—more storybook and artisanal than corporate—adding personality without becoming overly decorative.
Likely designed to blend the sturdiness of a slab serif with softened, rounded finishing to create an inviting, slightly retro texture. The intent appears to be a versatile, readable face that injects personality into headings and short text without relying on high contrast or sharp detailing.
Serifs tend to end in rounded pads rather than sharp slabs, and several curves show a slight calligraphic swing that keeps text from feeling rigid. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, and the font maintains a consistent, even color despite the playful details in terminals and curves.
