A heavy display serif with broad proportions and compact counters, built on simple geometric skeletons and softened by rounded joins. Stems and serifs flare subtly, creating wedge-like feet and head serifs rather than flat slabs, while terminals tend to be blunt and slightly tapered. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of b/d/p/q), and the lowercase has a single-storey a and g with sturdy, closed forms. The overall rhythm is tight and dense, with small apertures and an even, solid color that holds up at large sizes.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where its dense texture and flared serif detailing can read clearly. It can also work for short editorial callouts or subheads, especially when a retro, sturdy voice is desired, but the tight counters and heavy weight make it less ideal for long passages at smaller sizes.
The tone is bold and assertive but approachable, combining old-style, poster-like gravitas with a warm, slightly playful softness. Its rounded shapes and flared details give it a vintage, headline-forward character that feels friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a warm, vintage-leaning serif voice: a compact, highly legible silhouette at large sizes, softened by rounded construction and subtle flare to keep the weight from feeling harsh.
Numerals are robust and display-oriented, with rounded shapes and strong silhouettes; the 0 is very full and the 8 is notably compact and heavy. The Q features a clear, graphic tail, and the lowercase i/j dots are round, reinforcing the soft, chunky theme. Overall spacing in the sample text reads intentionally tight, emphasizing impact over airy refinement.
