A compact, narrow serif with chunky slab-like feet and rounded terminals that soften the overall silhouette. Strokes are low-contrast and consistently weighted, with slightly irregular curves and gentle swelling at joins that create a hand-set, stamped rhythm rather than a rigid geometric one. Counters are moderately open and the x-height sits in a comfortable mid range, supporting readability while preserving a distinctive, bouncy texture across words. Numerals and capitals follow the same sturdy, rounded-ended construction, giving the set a cohesive, poster-friendly presence.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy such as headlines, posters, packaging labels, and brand marks that benefit from a warm, retro-leaning voice. It can also work for pull quotes and book covers where a compact width and sturdy serif presence help text hold its ground in busy layouts.
The font feels friendly and lightly vintage, evoking signage, children’s publishing, and casual editorial display. Its rounded slab details add warmth and humor, producing an easygoing tone that reads as crafted and personable rather than formal or corporate.
Likely designed to combine the solidity of a slab serif with rounded, friendly terminals, aiming for a readable display face that feels handcrafted and inviting. The narrow build suggests an intent to fit impactful lettering into tight horizontal spaces while keeping a bold, characterful texture.
The overall texture is slightly lively due to subtle irregularity in curves and terminals, which helps headings feel characterful without becoming overly distressed. The narrow proportions keep lines compact, while the heavy serifs and soft terminals maintain strong legibility and a recognizable word shape at display sizes.
