A monoline slab serif with unbracketed, squared serifs that read as gently softened by rounded corners and subtly bulb-like terminals. Proportions are clean and contemporary, with open apertures and generous counters that keep text airy at larger sizes. Curves are smooth and near-geometric, while straight strokes maintain consistent weight; joins and corners favor soft transitions over sharp angles, giving an even, steady rhythm across lines.
Works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a crisp slab structure can add character without heaviness. It also suits branding and packaging that want a modern, personable voice, and display settings like posters or signage where its open shapes and steady stroke rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is approachable and lightly bookish—modern and tidy, but not austere. The softened slabs add a hint of warmth and charm, making the face feel friendly and easygoing while still structured enough for clear, composed typography.
Likely drawn to deliver a contemporary slab serif voice that balances structure with warmth—combining square, unbracketed slabs and monoline strokes with softened detailing to stay readable and inviting across display and text-forward applications.
Uppercase forms lean toward simple, constructed geometry, while lowercase shapes stay straightforward and readable with minimal flourish. Figures match the same calm, rounded-slab logic, presenting clean silhouettes suited to contemporary layouts.
