A sturdy slab-serif with softly rounded terminals and a low-contrast, near-monoline stroke. The letters are compact with generous bowls and smooth curves, while the serifs read as blunt, cushioned slabs rather than sharp brackets. Proportions vary naturally across glyphs, giving the set an organic rhythm; counters stay open and legible, and the overall texture is even and steady in text. Numerals are bold and simple, matching the softened slab detailing and maintaining strong clarity at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and subheads where a sturdy serif presence is desired without sharpness. The friendly slab tone also fits packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, and signage that benefits from a retro-leaning, approachable voice. It can work for children’s or educational materials when a clear, robust serif is preferred over a formal book face.
The rounded slab forms create a warm, approachable tone that nods to typewriter and mid-century utilitarian printing. It feels informal and human, with a slightly nostalgic character that softens the authority usually associated with slab serifs.
Likely designed to combine the practical clarity of slab serifs with rounded terminals that feel approachable and contemporary. The goal appears to be an easy-reading, characterful workhorse that delivers a familiar typewriter-like warmth while remaining stable and clean in set text.
In the sample text, the consistent stroke weight and rounded slab endings help maintain a calm, regular color across lines. The softened corners reduce visual harshness, making the font feel comfortable and forgiving in short-to-medium passages, while retaining enough structure for headings.
