A heavy, low-contrast serif with slab-like feet and strongly rounded corners throughout. Strokes are broadly consistent in thickness, with gentle bracketing where stems meet serifs and smooth, softened terminals that avoid sharp joins. Proportions lean compact with a tall x-height and relatively short extenders, giving the lowercase a dense, readable rhythm. Bowls and counters are rounded but somewhat tight, and the overall color on the page is dark and even, especially in text settings.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a bold, friendly serif voice is desired—such as packaging, posters, signage, and brand identities. In editorial layouts it can work well for display sizes, pull quotes, and section headers, providing strong emphasis without feeling harsh.
The softened slabs and rounded endings create a warm, approachable tone with a distinctly retro, workmanlike character. It feels confident and sturdy rather than delicate, with a hint of typewriter-era familiarity and a friendly informality suitable for casual editorial voices.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness of slab serifs with softened, rounded detailing for a more welcoming, contemporary feel. Its tall x-height and compact rhythm suggest a focus on legibility and consistent texture in everyday display and text-forward applications.
The uppercase shows broad, stable silhouettes with pronounced slab feet, while the lowercase maintains consistent weight and a compact, sturdy build. Numerals match the overall robustness, with clear, simple forms that keep the same rounded-slab treatment and strong presence in running text.
