A heavy, rounded slab serif with compact, chunky forms and soft, bulb-like serif terminals. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with minimal modulation, producing a dense color and strong presence in text. Curves are generously rounded, counters are relatively small, and joins feel cushioned rather than sharp. Spacing is comfortable for the weight, and the overall rhythm reads steady and robust across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is well suited to bold headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where a warm, attention-getting texture is desired. It can work effectively for packaging, labels, signage, and branding marks that benefit from a sturdy, friendly slab presence. For longer reading, it is best used at comfortable sizes where the tight counters and heavy color remain open and clear.
The tone is warm and personable, with a distinctly retro, poster-like friendliness. Its rounded slabs and inflated proportions suggest an informal, welcoming voice that feels more playful than formal, while still remaining solid and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly legible, high-impact slab serif with softened edges—combining the authority of a heavy serif with an approachable, rounded finish for expressive display typography.
Uppercase shapes lean toward broad, simplified silhouettes, and the lowercase follows a sturdy, workmanlike construction with rounded shoulders and terminals. Numerals match the same soft-slab language, reading clearly at display sizes and holding a strong graphic footprint.
