A heavy slab serif with broad, rounded forms and softly bracketed, block-like serifs. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many terminals end in squarish slabs with rounded corners, giving the letters a cushioned, substantial feel. The lowercase shows compact counters and sturdy stems, while the uppercase has wide, stable silhouettes; overall spacing and rhythm read as dense and weighty rather than airy.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence is desirable: headlines, posters, packaging, storefront-style signage, and bold brand marks. It can work for short blocks of copy or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing, but its dense texture will dominate in extended text.
The tone is warm, robust, and a bit nostalgic, evoking sign-painting and mid-century display printing. Its friendly roundness tempers the mass of the strokes, making it feel approachable while still emphatic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable, workmanlike slab serif voice with extra warmth—combining sturdy, rectangular serifs with rounded shaping to create a bold, print-forward look for prominent messaging.
The numerals match the letterforms with bulbous curves and slabbed ends, keeping a consistent, heavyweight texture across mixed text. In paragraph-like settings the color is very dark and uniform, favoring impact over long-form readability at small sizes.
