A very heavy display serif with compact proportions and a distinctly flared stroke finish. Stems broaden toward the ends, creating soft, wedge-like terminals and small, rounded serifs rather than flat slabs. Curves are full and slightly squarish, with tight inner counters and occasional notch-like cut-ins that add texture at joins. The overall rhythm is bouncy and irregular in a controlled way, with slightly idiosyncratic shapes and a strong dark mass that holds together well in headline settings.
Best suited to large sizes where its flared endings and compact counters can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, and bold packaging. It can also work for short branding lines or pull quotes where a friendly, retro display texture is desired.
The tone is warm, nostalgic, and upbeat, with a playful heft that recalls mid-century signage and poster lettering. Its chunky forms feel approachable and energetic rather than formal, giving text a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a welcoming, vintage-leaning personality. By combining heavy strokes with flared terminals and rounded detailing, it aims to feel handcrafted and expressive while remaining legible in bold display typography.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact, while the lowercase introduces more character through rounded bowls, pronounced terminals, and distinctive descenders. Numerals match the weight and softness of the alphabet, maintaining a cohesive, poster-like texture across mixed content.
