A soft slab-serif with gently rounded terminals and ball-like teardrop ends that keep the texture smooth and approachable. Strokes are even and steady, with subtle bracketed joins and slightly flared, chunky feet that read clearly at text sizes. The proportions feel traditional and readable, with moderate apertures and compact counters; the lowercase shows a simple, workmanlike construction (single-storey a, straightforward r and t) and the overall rhythm has a slightly irregular, hand-set or typewriter-adjacent charm.
It suits long-form reading where a gentle, human texture is desired—editorial layouts, books, and educational materials—while also working well for packaging, café or boutique branding, and display lines that benefit from a cozy retro voice. The rounded slab detailing keeps it legible while adding character for headlines and short bursts of copy.
The tone is friendly and nostalgic, combining a sturdy editorial backbone with playful softness at the ends of strokes. It suggests informal print—labels, notes, and classic storybook or classroom materials—rather than sleek corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to blend dependable slab-serif structure with softened, rounded finishing for a more personable voice. It aims to feel sturdy and readable like traditional print serifs, but less formal—adding warmth and a hint of vintage utility through its terminal treatment and slightly quirky detailing.
Numerals follow the same rounded-slab logic, with open shapes and clear differentiation; the 0 is clean and the 1 has a distinct top and base. The uppercase has a calm, classical presence (notably the broad curves and pronounced serifs), while the lowercase adds warmth through rounder terminals and slightly bouncier details, producing an inviting reading color in paragraphs.
