A soft-edged slab serif with rounded, slightly bracketed serifs and gently modulated curves. Strokes are even and steady, with open counters and a smooth, readable rhythm that stays consistent from caps to lowercase. The design favors broad, calm proportions and rounded joins, giving letters like C, G, S, and e a cushioned feel, while verticals remain clean and upright. Numerals follow the same rounded slab logic, maintaining a cohesive texture in text.
It suits comfortable reading in short-to-medium text blocks, especially where a warm serif texture is desired. The rounded slabs also make it a good fit for packaging and branding that needs friendliness without losing structure, and for posters or editorial pull quotes where a soft, distinctive serif voice helps headings feel approachable.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, combining a bookish, old-style friendliness with a lightly retro, informal charm. Its rounded slabs keep it from feeling rigid or overly editorial, making it feel inviting and personable in longer passages.
It appears designed to blend slab-serif solidity with rounded, softened details to create a more welcoming, less formal reading experience. The consistent stroke behavior and clear serif shapes suggest a focus on dependable legibility paired with an easygoing personality.
The font’s character comes from the combination of slab structure and softened terminals, producing a sturdy but gentle color on the page. Curves are intentionally generous and the serif shapes read clearly at text sizes, helping paragraphs feel steady without looking sharp or severe.
