A heavy, rounded slab serif with compact proportions and a soft, inflated silhouette. Strokes are thick and even, with broad, square-ended slabs that read as blocky feet and caps, while corners and joins are noticeably rounded to avoid sharpness. Counters are generous but simplified, and terminals stay blunt and sturdy, producing a dense, poster-like texture. The lowercase follows the same chunky construction, with single-storey forms and short, stout extenders that keep the overall rhythm tight.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a bold, friendly impact is desired. It also works well for signage and short display copy, especially in retro-themed or playful contexts where dense typographic color is an advantage.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and slightly nostalgic, evoking mid-century display lettering and playful signage. Its exaggerated weight and softened slabs give it a confident, jovial voice that feels more fun than formal.
The design appears intended as a cheerful, high-impact display slab that combines sturdy, square serif structure with rounded, approachable shaping. It prioritizes visual presence and character over delicate detail, aiming for clear, confident letterforms that hold up in large sizes.
In text, the strong vertical presence and compact spacing create a dark, unified color, so it reads best when given room through sizing, tracking, or generous line spacing. The numerals match the same sturdy, rounded construction, supporting consistent headline composition.
