A soft slab-serif with heavy, rounded serifs and gently blunted stroke endings that keep the texture dark and even. Strokes are largely monoline with subtle rounding at joins, giving counters and terminals a smooth, ink-friendly feel. Proportions are straightforward and workmanlike, with open apertures and clearly separated forms in both upper- and lowercase; the numerals match the same sturdy rhythm. Overall spacing reads comfortable rather than tight, supporting a consistent, moderately dense paragraph color.
Well suited to packaging, café menus, book covers, and posters where a friendly, sturdy voice is needed. It also works for short editorial headings and pull quotes, and can hold up in body copy at comfortable sizes when a warm, characterful texture is desired.
The rounded slab details give the face a warm, personable tone with a mild vintage flavor, reminiscent of classroom print, packaging, and informal editorial typography. It feels sturdy and reliable rather than delicate or high-fashion, with a friendly softness that keeps it from looking harsh.
The font appears intended to blend the firmness of a slab-serif with softened, rounded terminals to create an inviting, practical display-and-text hybrid. Its emphasis on even rhythm, open forms, and sturdy serifs suggests a goal of readability with a distinctly friendly personality.
The design balances a strong baseline presence with softened corners, which helps maintain legibility while adding character. The lowercase shows classic, readable shapes and the uppercase has a slightly playful, poster-ready solidity that holds up well at larger sizes.
