A sturdy slab serif with generously rounded corners and softened terminals throughout. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and a steady, print-like rhythm. The serifs read as blocky and well-supported rather than sharp, giving letters a compact, cushioned silhouette. Counters are open and clear, while curves (C, O, Q, S) keep a smooth, slightly squat feel that reinforces the font’s solid texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short paragraphs where a dense, confident texture is desirable. The softened slabs make it a strong choice for branding, packaging, and display copy that needs to feel inviting while still reading clearly.
The rounded slabs lend a warm, approachable tone with a touch of vintage signage and classic print charm. It feels confident and practical rather than delicate, projecting a friendly, slightly playful personality that stays readable at size.
The design appears intended to combine the dependability of a slab serif with rounded detailing for a friendlier, less formal voice. It aims for high-impact readability with a softened, nostalgic finish that works well in contemporary editorial and brand contexts.
Capital forms are assertive and stable, while lowercase shapes remain simple and legible, with a consistent softness at joins and corners. Numerals match the same rounded, sturdy construction, producing an even color and strong presence in headings and short blocks.
