A soft slab serif with rounded, blunted terminals and low stroke contrast. The serifs read as heavy, cushioned slabs, giving each letter a sturdy footprint while keeping edges smooth rather than sharp. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and the bowls of b/p), and joins are calm and even, producing a steady rhythm in text. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters and simple, readable forms; the numerals follow the same rounded, sturdy construction for consistent color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads, where the rounded slabs add personality without sacrificing clarity. It can also support packaging and branding that want a friendly, heritage-leaning tone, and works effectively for posters and book covers that need sturdy, high-contrast-at-a-distance letterforms without sharp edges.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a slightly nostalgic, typewriter-adjacent flavor. Rounded slabs soften the voice, making it feel friendly and informal rather than academic or formal. It projects reliability and charm—more handcrafted and personable than technical.
The design appears intended to blend the solidity of slab serifs with softened, rounded terminals for a more approachable voice. Its consistent stroke weight and open forms suggest a focus on legibility and an even text color, while the pronounced slabs provide recognizable character for display use.
In paragraphs, the font maintains a consistent texture with clear letter separation and comfortable spacing. The rounded slab treatment is prominent enough to provide character at display sizes, while the restrained contrast and open shapes help it stay readable in longer lines.
