A heavy, softly contoured slab-serif with generously rounded corners and terminals that read as bulb-like at the ends of strokes. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with gentle swelling and slight narrowing in joins that keeps the texture lively rather than rigid. Serifs are short and rounded, creating a strong baseline presence without sharp edges. Counters are open and broadly shaped, and the overall proportions feel compact with a solid, blocky rhythm across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for display-driven work such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a bold, friendly presence is needed. It also performs well in signage and short editorial callouts thanks to its sturdy shapes and clear letterforms.
The rounded slabs and weighty silhouettes give the type a friendly, retro voice—confident and sturdy, but never severe. It suggests mid-century display typography and casual editorial headlines, with a warm, approachable tone that can feel playful at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a slab serif with softened, rounded detailing, producing a robust display face that feels welcoming and contemporary-retro. Its consistent terminal treatment and compact, punchy forms prioritize impact and readability in attention-grabbing settings.
Numbers follow the same softened, chunky construction, maintaining clear differentiation and consistent terminal treatment. The texture in the sample paragraph is dense and highly legible at headline and short-text sizes, with a strong horizontal emphasis from the rounded serifs and thick stems.
