A heavy, rounded slab-serif with chunky proportions and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay broadly even, with gentle modulation and thick, cushioned terminals that give the forms a slightly blobby, hand-cut feel. Serifs are sturdy and compact with mild bracketing, supporting a dense, stable silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is bouncy, with subtly uneven curves and a warm, tactile texture that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, product packaging, storefront signage, and bold brand marks where its chunky slabs and rounded details can be appreciated. It performs especially well at display sizes and in high-contrast color applications where the dense shapes maintain impact.
The tone is bold and approachable, leaning retro and whimsical rather than formal. Its soft slabs and inflated shapes suggest mid-century display lettering and playful packaging, conveying friendliness and humor while still reading as solid and confident.
The design appears intended as a characterful display slab that combines strong, poster-like presence with softened, friendly details. It prioritizes visual personality and vintage warmth over neutral text efficiency.
The texture reads intentionally imperfect in a controlled way—rounded joins, slightly lumpy curves, and stout feet create a distinctive stamped/printed character. Numerals match the same chunky, soft-slab construction, keeping the set cohesive for headline use.
