A heavy, broad slab-serif with rounded, cushioned contours and pronounced bracketed terminals. Strokes show clear shaping and moderate contrast, with tight internal counters and frequent notch-like cut-ins at joins and terminals that create a carved, ink-trap feel. The rhythm is compact and blocky, with sturdy verticals, wide bowls, and generous slab feet and caps that emphasize horizontality. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, weighty silhouette designed to read as solid shapes rather than delicate details.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where its bold slabs and carved details can be appreciated. It also works well for short brand statements and logo-like wordmarks that benefit from a confident, retro display presence. For longer passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is exuberant and nostalgic, leaning into a poster-like boldness with a wink of novelty. Its chunky slabs and scooped details give it a friendly, slightly quirky voice that feels at home in retro or pop-inspired settings. The dense color and softened corners keep it approachable despite its mass.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through mass, width, and distinctive slab terminals, while adding personality via consistent scoops and ink-trap-like cut-ins. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a decorative texture that reads clearly in display contexts.
The distinctive notches and scoops repeat across many glyphs, giving the typeface a strong, recognizable texture in text. At smaller sizes these interior cut-ins may fill in, while at larger sizes they become a defining decorative detail. The sample text shows a dark, even typographic color with prominent word shapes and emphatic punctuation.
