A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions, low contrast, and mostly square-ended terminals softened by generous rounding. Serifs are blocky and confident, while many joins and counters show distinct notch-like cut-ins that create an ink-trap or stencil-adjacent flavor without breaking the forms. Curves are full and geometric, with circular bowls and open apertures that keep the rhythm lively. The lowercase mixes single-storey shapes with tall, simple stems, producing an informal texture that remains legible and consistent.
Best suited to display typography where its chunky slabs and distinctive notches can read clearly: posters, packaging, brand marks, menus, and signage. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when a friendly, characterful serif is needed, but its strong personality will dominate long-form text.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a whimsical, slightly eccentric voice that suggests mid-century or handmade signage rather than strict editorial formality. Its chunky slabs and rounded details give it a friendly heft, while the distinctive notches add character and a touch of novelty.
The design appears intended to blend the solidity of a slab serif with softened geometry and playful cut-in details, creating a personable display face that stays readable while looking distinctive and crafted.
The numerals match the letterforms with broad, sturdy silhouettes and rounded corners, staying clear at display sizes. Distinctive interior cut-ins appear in several glyphs and contribute to a memorable texture in words and headlines.
