A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and compact counters. The letters use sturdy, rectangular slabs with slight bracketing and subtly rounded joins, creating a softened, sculpted silhouette rather than razor-sharp geometry. Curves are full and weighty (notably in O/C/S), while interior apertures stay relatively tight, producing strong color on the page. Several terminals show small notches and stepped cut-ins that add a faint ink-trap/woodtype flavor and keep forms from feeling overly blunt.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where its dense weight and chunky slabs can carry impact: posters, mastheads, sports or team identities, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing editorial headers. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the tight counters and strong color make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, with a friendly toughness that recalls vintage display typography. It reads as energetic and assertive—more headline-driven than refined—while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a vintage-inspired slab serif voice, combining sturdy structure with softened details to stay friendly and legible in bold display contexts.
The mix of squared slabs and rounded bowls creates a distinctive rhythm: sturdy verticals paired with generous curves. Numerals match the letterforms in mass and presence, maintaining an even, poster-ready texture across lines of text.
