A very heavy display serif with soft, rounded wedge-like serifs and generously curved joins that create a compact, chunky silhouette. Strokes are robust with gently modulated contrast and frequent swelling at terminals, giving many letters a slightly teardrop or bulb-ended finish. Counters stay fairly open for the weight, while the overall rhythm is lively due to varied internal shapes and subtly irregular, hand-cut-feeling curves. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same rounded, blunted detailing, with a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ and prominent dots on ‘i’ and ‘j’ that read as deliberate, rounded accents.
Best used for short-form display work such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where its chunky shapes and soft serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for playful signage and promotional copy, especially at larger sizes where the rounded detailing remains clear.
The tone is warm and attention-grabbing, leaning toward a nostalgic, poster-era friendliness rather than formal editorial seriousness. Its soft serifs and bouncy curves suggest approachable humor and a slightly quirky personality, well-suited to expressive headlines that want charm as much as impact.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a friendly, decorative serif voice—combining poster-weight presence with softened, rounded details to create a distinctive, vintage-leaning display texture.
In text settings the weight produces strong dark color and pronounced word shapes, with distinctive serifed forms on letters like T, J, and Q that add character. The rounded terminals and heavy joins reduce sharpness, helping the face feel more inviting than aggressive at large sizes.
