A sturdy slab serif with broad proportions, bracketed rectangular serifs, and softly rounded curves that keep the forms friendly rather than rigid. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with heavier verticals and slightly lighter joins, plus subtle flare and taper where strokes meet serifs. The lowercase has compact, rounded bowls and distinctive terminals (notably in letters like a, f, j, and y), giving the texture a lively, slightly quirky rhythm. Overall spacing and silhouettes read bold and confident, with a strong baseline presence and clear, blocky counters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a bold, vintage voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts or section headers, especially when you want a sturdy slab serif that remains friendly and expressive.
The tone feels vintage and approachable—part old-style display serif, part collegiate poster. Its chunky slabs and softened details create a warm, handcrafted energy that can read playful or nostalgic while still staying authoritative and legible at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif foundation with added warmth and personality—balancing strong, poster-ready serifs with softened curves and animated terminals to keep the texture lively in display settings.
Several glyphs lean into characterful details: rounded interior shapes, occasional ball-like terminals, and slightly exaggerated serif feet that add charm in headlines. Numerals are open and prominent, matching the type’s sturdy color and reinforcing a sign-painting or print-era feel.
