A soft, slightly slanted slab-serif with rounded terminals and gently bracketed, blocky serifs. Strokes stay fairly even with minimal contrast, while subtle irregularities in curves and joins add an organic, hand-drawn flavor. The letterforms are compact and somewhat condensed, with a moderate x-height and open counters that keep text readable. Overall rhythm is lively, with a mild bounce in baseline behavior and a relaxed, calligraphic flow despite the slab structure.
Works well for packaging, café/restaurant identities, posters, and signage where a friendly, crafted slab texture can carry the message. It also suits short editorial callouts, pull quotes, and display settings that benefit from a warm, retro-leaning voice. For long body text, it’s best used at comfortable sizes where the lively texture can breathe.
The tone is approachable and personable, combining a vintage sign-painting warmth with the dependable presence of a slab serif. Its rounded corners and easy slant read as friendly and informal rather than corporate or austere. The texture feels crafted and conversational, suited to brands that want charm without going fully script.
Likely designed to blend the sturdiness and clarity of a slab serif with the warmth of informal, handwritten motion. The goal appears to be an everyday display face that feels human and slightly vintage, offering personality without sacrificing basic legibility.
Uppercase forms keep simple silhouettes and sturdy stems, while lowercase adds more character through looped descenders (notably in g and y) and a single-storey, handwritten sensibility. Numerals are clear and consistent with the softened slab details, supporting headline and short-text use where a distinctive texture is desirable.
