A compact, heavy slab-serif with soft, rounded terminals and blocky proportions. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, and the serifs read as thick, bracketed pads rather than sharp slabs, giving the forms a cushioned silhouette. Curves and joins are slightly pinched in places, creating small ink-trap-like notches that help counters stay open at dense sizes. The lowercase is built on a relatively low x-height with simple, sturdy construction, while the overall set keeps a consistent, dark color and tight rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold editorial callouts where a dense, confident texture is desirable. It can also work well for signage and simple logo wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, friendly slab-serif voice, especially at display sizes.
The tone feels retro and approachable, combining a workmanlike sturdiness with a gently playful, almost sign-painted warmth. Its rounded slab details soften the heaviness, making it feel inviting rather than severe, with a hint of vintage print and storefront lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif presence with a softened, more personable edge—prioritizing strong impact, consistent color, and practical legibility while nodding to vintage print and signage aesthetics.
The numerals are bold and straightforward, matching the uppercase weight and maintaining clear silhouettes. Spacing and shapes aim for solidity and uniform texture, with open counters and softened corners supporting readability in short bursts of text.
