A chunky slab serif with heavy, softly rounded serifs and dense, compact counters. Strokes stay largely even, with minimal modulation, and the joins and terminals have a slightly blunted, inked-in feel that reads as deliberately rough rather than crisp. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, while the lowercase keeps simple, sturdy construction with a single-storey a and g; overall spacing and rhythm feel robust and blocky, prioritizing mass and presence over finesse.
Best suited to posters, headlines, signage, and identity work where a strong, friendly slab presence is desired. It also fits packaging and label-style graphics, especially when aiming for a vintage or handmade print impression rather than a sharp editorial slab.
The letterforms project a bold, nostalgic tone reminiscent of letterpress, vintage posters, and packaging. Its softened corners and slightly irregular edge quality add warmth and approachability, while the heavy slabs keep it grounded and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable workhorse slab silhouette with extra warmth and personality, achieved through softened serifs, rounded corners, and a subtly distressed/inked edge that adds character without changing the underlying straightforward structures.
The numerals are weighty and highly graphic, matching the alphabet’s dark color and rounded slab treatment. In longer text the strong texture can become visually dominant, so it tends to read best when given generous size and breathing room.
