A heavy, rounded slab-serif with soft corners and an overall cushiony silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with broad, blunted serifs that read more like rounded blocks than sharp brackets. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be partially closed, giving the face a dense, inky color; joins and inside corners often show small notches that create an ink-trap-like effect. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a short, strong “t,” while figures are wide and highly simplified for impact.
Best suited to display settings where strong, soft-edged letterforms can carry personality—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short emphatic text or callouts, but the compact counters and heavy color make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is warm and approachable, combining a vintage print sensibility with a playful, slightly cartoonish heft. Its rounded slabs and dense rhythm suggest friendliness and durability rather than precision or formality, making it feel nostalgic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering a robust, friendly slab-serif voice with rounded finishing and high visual weight. It prioritizes impact and charm—evoking vintage print and signage—while keeping forms simple and cohesive for bold display typography.
Spacing and letterfit appear tight-to-moderate, reinforcing a solid texture in text. The bold, rounded terminals help soften the mass, but the compact counters can reduce clarity at small sizes, especially in dense paragraphs.
