A heavy, compact slab serif with blunt, rectangular serifs and rounded outer corners that soften the silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with minimal contrast and generous counters that keep forms open despite the weight. Terminals and joins feel sturdy and slightly softened, producing a steady, low-drama rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the same solid construction, reading clearly with broad shapes and simple interior apertures.
Well suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a strong, friendly slab presence is needed. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that want a sturdy, approachable tone and clear, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, combining a workmanlike sturdiness with a lightly nostalgic, poster-friendly feel. Its soft-edged slabs and chunky proportions give it a friendly, dependable voice that can lean casual without becoming novelty.
The design appears intended as a robust everyday slab serif that balances utilitarian clarity with softened, display-oriented character. It aims to deliver strong emphasis and reliable readability while adding a subtle retro warmth through chunky slabs and rounded detailing.
The face holds up well at larger sizes where the slab details and rounded corners become part of the personality, while the dense weight makes it best suited to short-to-medium passages rather than long reading. Spacing appears even and the letterforms remain consistent across cases, supporting bold, confident typographic color.
