A heavy, high-contrast serif with soft, bulb-like terminals and distinctly bracketed serifs. Strokes swell and taper with a pronounced vertical stress, while corners are rounded to keep the dense letterforms feeling smooth rather than sharp. Proportions are generously wide with a tall x-height; counters are compact but remain open through careful shaping. The overall rhythm is lively, with curved joins and slightly irregular, hand-painted-like modulation that reads as intentional and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where its distinctive terminals and contrast can be appreciated—posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and storefront or event signage. It can work for short, high-impact passages or pull quotes when set with generous leading and mindful tracking.
The font projects a cheerful, nostalgic tone—more soda-fountain retro than formal bookish serif. Its chunky weight and bouncy curves feel inviting and humorous, giving text a warm, characterful presence. The dramatic contrast and softened details add theatrical flair without turning aggressive.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional serif through an exaggerated, soft-edged, high-contrast treatment that feels vintage and approachable. It prioritizes personality and visual punch while retaining familiar serif construction for legibility in prominent sizes.
In running text, the strong color and tight counters create a bold texture; letter spacing and line spacing benefit from a bit of extra breathing room at larger sizes. Figures follow the same rounded, high-contrast logic, keeping numerals visually aligned with the letterforms for cohesive headlines and callouts.
