A monoline serif with soft, slab-like terminals and generously rounded corners that keep the texture smooth and even. The letterforms favor simple, open construction with clear countershapes and minimal contrast, producing a calm rhythm in text. Proportions feel slightly compact in the lowercase, with a relatively low x-height and tall, clean ascenders, while capitals are broad and airy with ample internal space. Numerals follow the same softened, lightly bracketed feel, reading clearly without looking mechanical.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, short-to-medium passages, and bookish headings where a warm serif is desired without high contrast. It can also serve packaging and branding that benefit from a soft retro voice, and works effectively for posters and pull quotes where clarity and charm are both important.
The overall tone is friendly and lightly retro, combining a typewriter-adjacent sturdiness with a gentle, approachable softness. Its rounded slabs and even stroke give it a personable, informal voice that still feels orderly and composed.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness of slab serifs with rounded, friendly terminals for a readable, characterful text face. It emphasizes even texture, open forms, and a gentle personality that remains versatile across both display lines and continuous reading.
Rounded slab terminals appear consistently across stems and crossbars, and the font maintains a stable baseline presence with restrained quirks rather than overt display gestures. In running text, spacing reads open and breathable, supporting a smooth, readable color.
