A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, squat feel. Strokes are thick and evenly weighted, with square, unbracketed slab terminals that are softened by rounded corners and slightly swollen joins. Counters are generous and often rounded-square, keeping interior spaces open despite the dense weight. The overall rhythm is lively and uneven in a deliberate way, with subtly varying widths and a robust, blocky silhouette that reads strongly at larger sizes.
Best used for bold headlines, posters, signage, and branding where a warm, retro display voice is desired. It can work for short blurbs or large-format copy, but is most effective when given room to breathe with generous tracking and line spacing. The strong shapes also suit packaging and promotional graphics that need instant impact.
The tone is upbeat and extroverted, evoking retro signage and cartoonish headline typography. Its soft, cushiony slabs and rounded detailing give it a friendly, approachable character rather than a rigid or formal one. The weight and width add a confident, attention-grabbing presence suited to playful or nostalgic branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, softened slab-serif style—combining sturdy, unbracketed slabs with rounded, inflated contours for a vintage display look. It prioritizes bold recognizability and characterful texture over neutral readability, aiming for standout titles and brand marks.
In text samples the letterforms maintain clarity through large counters and simplified shapes, but the strong, rounded slab features create a distinctive texture that can become dense at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded-slab logic, reinforcing a consistent, bold display voice across letters and figures.
