A heavy, soft-edged slab serif with rounded corners and generously bracketed, blocky serifs. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a sturdy, even color in text. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall drawing favors broad proportions with calm, upright posture. The lowercase shows simple, compact forms with rounded terminals and a single-storey “g,” contributing to a smooth, cohesive rhythm.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks of text where a strong, readable voice is needed, such as posters, packaging, signage, and brand marks. It can also work for subheads and pull quotes, especially when you want a bold presence without sharp, aggressive edges.
The tone feels warm and approachable, with a retro print sensibility that reads as dependable rather than formal. Its rounded slabs soften the bold mass, giving it a friendly, slightly nostalgic character suited to casual, human-centered messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a softened, personable finish—combining the assertiveness of slab serifs with rounded shaping to keep the overall feel inviting and contemporary.
Spacing appears comfortable and stable, helping the dense strokes avoid clogging in continuous text. The figures are sturdy and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ rounded, slabbed structure for consistent texture across mixed alphanumerics.
