A soft slab-serif with rounded, bracketed serifs and gently eased terminals that keep the texture sturdy without feeling sharp. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with smooth curves and open counters that read clearly at display sizes. Proportions lean broad, and the letterforms have a calm, steady rhythm; the lowercase shows simple, workmanlike construction with a single-storey a and a compact, rounded g. Numerals are full-bodied and clear, with consistent weight and softly squared details that match the serif treatment.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a friendly slab presence can carry personality—such as editorial titling, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for signage and interface headings when you want a sturdy, legible voice that doesn’t feel severe.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, combining a dependable, print-minded solidity with a subtle retro charm. Its softened slab details feel inviting and informal while still projecting confidence and structure.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with softened edges—pairing strong, stable letterforms with rounded details for a more welcoming, contemporary-leaning feel.
In text settings, the wide proportions and generous counters create an even color and reduce the sense of density, while the rounded serif shapes add character without becoming ornamental. The design balances straightforward geometry with small, human touches in corners and joins.
