A sturdy slab-serif with noticeably rounded, bracketed serifs and softened corners throughout. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast, and the overall color on the page is dark and stable without feeling rigid. Counters are open and generously proportioned, while joints and terminals resolve with smooth curves that give the shapes a cushioned, tactile quality. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and a calm rhythm; figures are similarly robust and readable with rounded details that match the text.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other long-form settings where a sturdy serif with warmth is desirable. It also works well for packaging, café/retail branding, and posters that benefit from a friendly retro voice and strong typographic presence.
The rounded slabs and gentle curves give the face a warm, personable tone that reads as slightly retro and familiar. It feels dependable and legible, but not formal or sharp, lending a friendly, human cadence to paragraphs and headlines alike.
The design appears intended to combine the authority and structure of a slab serif with rounded, approachable detailing for a softer, more contemporary feel. Its consistent, robust letterforms aim for clear readability while adding a distinctive, personable texture.
In text, the font maintains an even texture with clear word shapes and a comfortable pace, while the softened slab serifs add character without becoming decorative. The heavier joins and rounded terminals help it hold up well at display sizes and in bold typographic statements.
