A sturdy slab-serif with heavily rounded corners and softened terminals throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast, giving the letters a solid, almost stamped presence. The serifs read as chunky, bracketless slabs with pill-shaped ends, and many joins and apertures are opened up to keep counters clear at display sizes. Proportions feel broad and stable, with compact lowercase forms and a relatively low x-height compared with the caps, creating a slightly top-heavy rhythm in mixed text. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the same rounded slab vocabulary.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium blocks of text where a bold, friendly voice is desired. It works well for packaging, labels, signage, and brand marks that benefit from a soft-but-sturdy slab-serif look. In longer text, the heavy color and compact lowercase rhythm suggest using generous size and leading for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is friendly and nostalgic, evoking mid-century signage and soft industrial lettering. Its rounded slabs and uniform weight make it feel approachable and robust rather than formal, with a subtle toy-like charm that reads as playful without becoming whimsical script.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a slab serif with the warmth of rounded detailing, producing a durable display face that stays legible and inviting. Its simplified shapes and consistent weight suggest an emphasis on clarity, impact, and an amiable retro personality.
Several forms show distinctive, sculpted terminals and widened interior spaces that help maintain legibility despite the heavy weight. The font’s texture in paragraphs is dense and dark, with a consistent beat created by repeated rounded slab endings on verticals and horizontals.
