A sturdy slab-serif with thick, low-contrast strokes and softened, rounded corners throughout. Serifs are prominent and blocky yet gently curved at joins, giving a cushioned, less mechanical silhouette. Letterforms are compact with generous weight in the shoulders and terminals, producing a dark, even texture in text. The lowercase shows simple, readable shapes with single-storey forms (notably in a and g), while caps remain broad and steady with minimal stroke modulation.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and signage where a bold, readable voice is needed at a glance. The soft slab detailing also makes it a strong fit for packaging, labels, and branding that want a retro-leaning, approachable character. In editorial layouts it can work effectively for display sizes, pull quotes, and section openers where a solid typographic anchor is desirable.
The overall tone is warm and practical, mixing a vintage, print-like presence with a friendly softness. Its rounded finishing and hefty slabs feel approachable rather than severe, suggesting an editorial or packaged-goods sensibility with a touch of nostalgia.
The design appears intended to deliver the authority and stability of a heavy slab serif while tempering it with rounded, friendly terminals for broader, more inviting use in contemporary display typography.
The numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the same rounded slab treatment and maintaining consistent color alongside the letters. In paragraph settings, the dense weight and compact counters create strong emphasis and a confident rhythm, especially in headlines and short blocks of copy.
