A rounded, softened sans with a superelliptical backbone: curves tend toward squarish ovals, and corners are consistently eased rather than sharp. Strokes are fairly even with modest modulation, giving a sturdy, print-like color without feeling geometric. Many joins show subtle notch-like shaping (an ink-trap feel) and terminals often end in gentle flares or rounded cuts, creating a distinctive rhythm in letters like S, C, and J. Proportions read slightly condensed with tall capitals and narrow internal spaces, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, upright structure and a normal x-height. Numerals follow the same soft-rectangular logic, with clear, stable forms suited to continuous reading.
Well suited to editorial typography where you want a distinctive but readable sans for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. The warm, structured forms also work well for branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a slightly retro, crafted feel while staying clean and contemporary.
The tone is friendly and slightly nostalgic, suggesting mid‑century editorial and signage influences without becoming decorative. Its softened geometry and subtle notching add personality and warmth, lending an approachable, crafted voice that still reads as orderly and professional.
Likely designed to blend geometric simplicity with a humanized, print-aware finish—using softened superelliptical forms and subtle ink-trap-like joins to maintain clarity while adding character. The aim appears to be a versatile sans that stands out in display settings yet remains comfortable in longer passages.
In text, the narrow apertures and compact counters create a dense, confident texture, especially in words with repeated verticals. The rounded geometry remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, recognizable silhouette at both display and paragraph sizes.
