A rounded slab-serif design with soft, bulb-like terminals and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The forms are broadly proportioned with generous counters and a steady, readable rhythm, while subtle irregularities in curves and joins give the outlines a slightly hand-finished feel. Serifs are short and cushioned rather than sharp, and many strokes end in rounded pads that keep the texture even and smooth. Overall spacing is comfortable, producing an open, airy page color in text.
Well suited to packaging, café/retail branding, and editorial work where a friendly slab-serif voice is needed. It can also perform in short-to-medium text for brochures or book interiors thanks to its open shapes and steady texture, and it scales up nicely for headlines and posters where the rounded details become a defining feature.
The font communicates a warm, personable tone—more casual than formal—mixing a nostalgic, typewriter-adjacent flavor with a gentle softness. Its rounded details and mild quirks make it feel inviting and slightly whimsical without becoming novelty-driven.
Likely designed to blend the dependable structure of a slab serif with softened, rounded finishing to create a readable but personable texture. The slight hand-drawn irregularity suggests an aim toward warmth and character while maintaining consistent, practical letterforms.
Capitals are sturdy and clean, while the lowercase shows more personality in the rounded terminals and simplified joins, helping longer passages feel conversational. Numerals match the same soft, slabby construction for a cohesive look across text and display settings.
