A heavy, rounded serif with generous curves and softly bracketed terminals that give the forms a cushioned, sculpted look. Strokes are thick and compact with moderate contrast, and the serifs read as short, flared wedges rather than crisp hairlines. Counters tend to be relatively small and enclosed, while joins and corners are noticeably softened, producing an even, dark texture in text. Overall proportions feel expansive with broad letterforms and a steady, upright rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting where weight and character matter most: headlines, posters, book or album covers, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section heads where a dense, emphatic texture is desirable, though the small counters suggest avoiding very small text sizes.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a nostalgic, print-era warmth reminiscent of classic display serifs used in headlines and packaging. Its softened details temper the weight, making it feel friendly rather than severe, while still projecting confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a warm, retro-inflected serif voice—balancing strong weight and clear silhouettes with rounded, bracketed details that keep the overall impression inviting and readable in display contexts.
The uppercase has a sturdy, monolithic presence, and the lowercase maintains strong, rounded shoulders and terminals that keep word shapes cohesive at larger sizes. Numerals match the same chunky, old-style-influenced softness, supporting a consistent, poster-ready voice across letters and figures.
