A slanted serif with sturdy, slab-like feet that are noticeably rounded at the corners, giving the letterforms a soft, cushioned finish. Strokes stay largely even with minimal contrast, while curves and joins are generously blunted rather than sharp. The overall construction feels slightly irregular and lively, with gently varied character widths and an easy, flowing rhythm in text. Counters are open and the lowercase maintains clear, compact proportions suited to continuous reading.
It works well where you want warmth and personality without sacrificing clarity—such as packaging, café or boutique branding, short editorial features, pull quotes, and display copy in posters or book covers. The rounded slabs keep headings bold and friendly, and the even stroke weight helps paragraphs stay readable at moderate sizes.
The font conveys a friendly, informal tone with a nostalgic, print-like charm. Its softened slabs and buoyant slant read as welcoming and human, leaning more toward personable editorial voice than formal tradition.
The design appears intended to merge the solidity of slab serifs with a softer, more approachable voice, using rounded corners and a lively italic rhythm to evoke a handcrafted, retro-inflected feel in both headlines and text.
Round dots and terminals reinforce the softened theme throughout, while the numerals share the same sturdy, rounded treatment for a cohesive color on the page. The italic posture is prominent enough to add motion, but the low-contrast strokes keep it calm and legible.
