A compact, heavy serif design with rounded slab-like terminals and low stroke contrast. The letterforms are built from confident, mostly even-weight strokes that end in soft, blunted serifs, giving a cushioned silhouette rather than sharp wedges. Curves are generous and slightly squared-off at turns, and counters stay relatively open for the weight. Overall proportions feel condensed with short extenders and a steady, rhythmic texture across mixed-case text.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a compact, high-impact texture is needed. The rounded slab detailing also fits branding and packaging that aims for a friendly retro feel, and it can work for short blurbs or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing.
The rounded slabs and punchy weight create a warm, approachable tone with a clear vintage print sensibility. It reads as confident and practical rather than formal, with a slightly playful, handcrafted flavor that keeps it from feeling rigid.
Likely drawn to deliver bold, space-efficient letterforms with softened slab terminals—combining the authority of a sturdy serif with a more approachable, rounded finish for attention-grabbing display typography.
The figures and capitals present strong, simplified shapes that hold up well at display sizes, while the consistent stroke weight produces an even color in lines of text. The rounded terminals soften the dense spacing and help prevent the texture from becoming overly harsh.
