Round, but not too cute slab serif?

I like The Serif Bold, but am looking to use in a job that needs a bit more of a ’friendly’ feel. Some of the Underware fonts look really nice, but are just too cutesy for my needs. Any ideas? Thanks!

Have a look at Parry, from Ourtype.

Thanks John, some nice fonts there. Anyone know what font is used on the Autodesk logo?

I thought it was some form of Chaparral at first, but the k and the A aren’t quite right. Maybe they had it customised?

It looks like Vigor

Thanks everyone for the replies, Vigor does look pretty damn close!

Thanks everyone for the replies, I think Vigor looks the closest!
