A sturdy slab-serif with softly rounded corners and gently bracketed serifs that give the outlines a cushioned, slightly inked-in look. Strokes stay mostly even with modest modulation, and curves are generously rounded, producing a smooth, readable rhythm in both upper- and lowercase. The lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented proportions with a moderate x-height, open counters, and clear joins; terminals often end in rounded slabs rather than sharp cuts. Figures appear oldstyle, with varied heights and descenders (notably 3, 5, 7, 9), reinforcing a literary, print-forward texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a warm slab serif can carry paragraphs comfortably. It also fits packaging and brand systems that want a vintage-leaning, approachable voice, and works for headlines when a sturdy, friendly serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is warm and personable, balancing a classic, editorial voice with a slightly playful softness. It evokes vintage book typography and packaging that aims to feel trustworthy, familiar, and easy to read rather than sleek or technical.
Likely designed to deliver a robust slab-serif foundation with softened edges for comfort and charm, combining traditional text proportions with details that feel slightly tactile and print-native.
In text, the rounded slab details remain visible without becoming noisy, creating a consistent color on the line. The uppercase has a calm, traditional presence, while the lowercase and oldstyle numerals add a distinctly old-fashioned, human cadence.
