A heavy, rounded slab serif with soft, bulb-like terminals and thick, low-contrast strokes. The serifs read as short, cushioned blocks rather than sharp brackets, giving corners a melted, cushiony feel throughout. Counters are generally open and round, with sturdy verticals and slightly lively curves that add a gentle, hand-hewn irregularity without losing overall consistency. The lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected (notably the ‘g’), contributing to a simple, approachable texture, while numerals are wide and weighty with the same rounded, slab-ended construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a bold, inviting voice. It can also work for short blurbs, pull quotes, and event materials where a retro, friendly texture is desirable, especially at larger sizes where the rounded slabs and open counters read cleanly.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a distinctly retro, poster-like friendliness. Its chunky shapes and rounded slabs suggest comfort and informality, making text feel playful and personable rather than strict or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy slab-serif structure while softening it with rounded terminals and simplified forms, creating a readable but characterful display face. It aims for high presence and warmth, evoking vintage printing and playful signage aesthetics.
In longer text the rhythm becomes bouncy and expressive, with strong black shapes and rounded joins that emphasize a soft, tactile presence. The design favors character and display impact over crisp, delicate detailing, and the rounded slabs help maintain clarity at medium-to-large sizes.
