A heavy, blocky slab-serif with rounded corners and soft, bulb-like serif endings. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating dense, compact counters and a strong, even color in text. The letterforms lean on simple geometric structure—broad bowls, blunt shoulders, and sturdy stems—while the terminals and joins are noticeably smoothed, avoiding sharp interior angles. Numerals match the same weight and softness, with generous curves and solid, stable silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of display copy where its dense weight and rounded slabs can carry impact without feeling harsh. It would also work well for packaging, signage, and editorial features that need a sturdy, high-visibility voice with a slightly retro warmth.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, pairing a workmanlike backbone with a playful softness at the edges. It reads as confident and slightly nostalgic, evoking mid-century display printing and headline typography while staying straightforward and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and legibility through thick, uniform strokes and emphatic slab terminals, while rounding and softening the details to keep the tone approachable. It aims to function as a dependable display slab that maintains a consistent, punchy rhythm across letters and numerals.
Spacing in the sample text appears comfortably open for a font this heavy, helping prevent shapes from clumping at larger paragraph sizes. The slab details are prominent but rounded, so the texture feels more friendly than rigid, especially in repeated verticals and in the broad, circular forms.
