A slab-serif design with heavy, blunt serifs and broadly even stroke weight, giving it a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. The outlines feel intentionally irregular: stems and bowls show subtle waviness, with small variations in width and curvature that create a hand-cut rhythm. Terminals and serifs are mostly flat and squared-off, often with softened corners, and the joins favor simple, chunky geometry over sharp refinement. Spacing and sidebearings read slightly uneven in a deliberate way, enhancing the informal texture in both the alphabet grid and paragraph setting.
Well-suited for display use such as posters, packaging, signage, and identity systems that benefit from a handcrafted, retro-leaning slab-serif voice. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a textured, informal tone is desired, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where the quirky rhythm remains clear.
The overall tone is friendly and slightly mischievous, with a crafted, analog feel rather than a polished corporate voice. Its sturdy slabs and gentle irregularities suggest a vintage, homespun character—more street-sign and storefront than editorial elegance. The lively motion in the forms keeps the texture animated, making it feel approachable and human.
This font appears designed to combine the dependability of a classic slab serif with a deliberately imperfect, handmade finish. The goal seems to be strong readability and impact, while adding personality through subtle wobble, blunt serifs, and softened geometry.
In text, the font produces a bold, high-ink presence with noticeable texture from the irregular outlines, which becomes part of the design rather than noise. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, slab-driven construction, helping mixed content feel cohesive. The face reads best when its intentional roughness has room to show, rather than being pushed into very small sizes or ultra-tight tracking.
