A heavy, slab-serif display face with compact proportions and softly rounded terminals. The serifs are blocky and often slightly cupped or bracketed into the stems, giving a carved, stamped look rather than a crisp geometric one. Curves (C, O, S) are full and slightly squarish, and many joins show gentle swelling that adds a buoyant rhythm across words. Counters are moderately tight for the weight, while apertures stay fairly open, keeping forms readable at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where personality is needed: posters, headlines, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and storefront or event signage. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes when set with generous spacing, but its dense weight makes it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a vintage, handmade energy. Its chunky slabs and subtly irregular, bouncy shapes feel nostalgic—suggesting old posters, packaging, and playful headlines rather than formal editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver strong impact with a friendly, retro voice—combining bold slab serifs with softened shaping to create a distinctive, attention-getting texture in titles and branding.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same weighty color with short extenders and a compact, even texture in lines of text. Numerals match the boldness and have rounded, sign-painter-like silhouettes that blend smoothly with the letters.
