A heavy, soft-shouldered slab serif with rounded, bracket-like joins and low stroke modulation. The letterforms are broad and sturdy, with generous stems, compact apertures, and gently curved terminals that avoid sharp corners. Counters are mostly rounded and slightly condensed by the weight, while the overall rhythm stays even and blocky across capitals and lowercase. Numerals match the same robust, softened construction, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks of text where its bold, rounded slabs can carry personality—posters, signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for punchy subheads or callouts where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable.
The rounded slabs and chunky weight give it a warm, personable tone with a nostalgic, print-era feel. It balances friendliness with solidity, suggesting something dependable yet informal—more inviting than austere.
Likely designed to provide a high-impact slab serif that stays approachable through rounded terminals and bracketing, delivering a classic, print-inspired voice with strong readability and a friendly presence.
Capitals present strong, simple silhouettes with pronounced slab feet, while lowercase maintains a consistent, sturdy texture that forms dark, even lines in paragraph settings. The softened ends and bracketing help the heavy weight feel less rigid, making the texture feel cushioned rather than mechanical.
