A heavy, compact slab-serif with broad, rounded contours and soft, blunted corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the slab serifs read as swollen, integrated terminals rather than crisp brackets. Counters are relatively small and rounded, giving letters a dense, weighty texture. Overall spacing and shapes create an even, poster-like rhythm, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that prioritize solidity over finesse.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where strong presence and clear, bold shapes are an advantage—posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for emphasis in editorial layouts, but will generally benefit from looser spacing and larger sizes to keep counters open and maintain readability.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a vintage, sign-painting and rubber-stamp flavor. Its chunky slabs and rounded forms feel upbeat and slightly whimsical while still communicating stability and impact.
Designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded slab-serif voice. The intention appears to be a dependable display workhorse that feels retro and approachable, while staying structurally straightforward and highly legible at large sizes.
At text sizes the dense color can build quickly, so it tends to read best when given generous tracking and line spacing. The figures match the same blocky, rounded slab logic, supporting cohesive headline and display use.
