A heavy, right-leaning roman with soft, slab-like serifs and rounded terminals throughout. Strokes are broad and low-contrast, with a gently calligraphic rhythm and subtly uneven widths that add an organic, hand-drawn feel. Counters are open and generously sized, and many joins and ends resolve into ball-like or teardrop terminals, creating a cushioned silhouette. The overall spacing reads sturdy and roomy, with a compact vertical footprint and a confident, inked presence.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its rounded slabs and energetic slant can carry personality. It also works well for short editorial bursts—pull quotes, chapter openers, and titles—where a warm, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The tone is warm and welcoming, evoking vintage signage and mid-century editorial display while staying casual and personable. Rounded serifs and bouncy curves give it a playful charm that feels approachable rather than formal. The italic slant adds energy and motion, making text feel lively and conversational.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness of slab-serif structure with softened, rounded finishing to keep the color bold yet inviting. Its italic stance and ball-terminal detailing suggest a focus on expressive, retro-tinged display typography that remains readable in short passages.
Capitals show a sturdy, poster-like build with softened edges, while lowercase forms maintain strong differentiation and a rhythmic baseline bounce. Numerals share the same rounded, slabbed finishing, keeping a consistent, friendly texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
