A compact slab-serif with thick, softly rounded serifs and low-contrast strokes. The outlines feel gently irregular, with slightly blunted corners and occasional notch-like joins that give an inked or stamped impression. Counters are open and simple, and the lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) with sturdy stems and modest terminals. Numerals and capitals carry the same rounded slab treatment, producing a dense, even color that stays legible while retaining a handmade edge.
Works well for headlines, short paragraphs, and branding that wants a retro, tactile feel—such as packaging, labels, café menus, and book or album covers. It can also serve for pull quotes or editorial titling where a sturdy, personable slab voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and nostalgic, evoking print-era utility with a casual, human touch. Its soft slab details and subtly quirky shapes read as friendly rather than formal, suggesting a craft-oriented or retro editorial mood.
Likely intended to blend dependable slab-serif structure with softened, rounded detailing to create a readable face that still signals personality. The design appears aimed at conveying a vintage, print-made character without sacrificing clarity in larger text settings.
In text, the bold-ish serifs and tight proportions create strong word shapes and a slightly textured rhythm. The design’s small idiosyncrasies are consistent across the set, so it feels intentional—more like a characterful display text face than a neutral workhorse.
