A softly drawn serif with rounded slab-like terminals and a mostly even stroke weight. Serifs and stroke endings often resolve into small ball terminals or cushioned pads, giving corners a smoothed, bulbous finish rather than sharp joins. Proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with generous interior counters (notably in O, C, and e) and clear separation between strokes in text. Uppercase forms are clean and steady, while the lowercase introduces more personality through rounded shoulders and a single-storey a and g. Numerals follow the same rounded, monoline rhythm, with simple, readable shapes and softened terminals.
Well suited to branding and packaging that benefits from a friendly, handcrafted-leaning serif voice, as well as editorial headlines and pull quotes where warmth and character are desired. Its open counters and soft terminals also make it a good candidate for posters and display settings, and for family- or kid-oriented communication where a gentle tone helps readability and approachability.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a distinct mid-century/bookish charm. Rounded serifs and softened joins create a gentle, informal texture that feels welcoming rather than authoritative, making the text color appear relaxed and friendly.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with rounded, softened detailing to create a distinctive but readable texture. It aims for a balance of clarity and charm, using consistent stroke weight and generous shapes while relying on rounded terminals to deliver personality.
In running text the font maintains a consistent rhythm, with smooth curves and minimal sharp angles; diagonal letters (V, W, X, Y) keep the same softened finishing treatment, avoiding harsh points. The lowercase i and j use round dots that echo the terminal motif, reinforcing a cohesive, playful detail language.
