A heavy, right-slanted display serif with chunky, slab-like serifs that terminate in noticeably rounded corners. Strokes are broadly weighted with modest contrast and smooth, inflated curves, giving counters a compact, cushioned feel. The letterforms lean into soft bracketing and blunted terminals rather than sharp joins, producing a sturdy rhythm with a slightly bouncy baseline impression. Numerals and caps maintain the same hefty, rounded slab vocabulary, with clear, high-impact silhouettes suited to short settings.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its thick strokes and rounded slabs can carry personality—posters, packaging, logotypes, signage, and retro-styled branding. It can work for pull quotes or subheads when set with a bit of extra spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining vintage sign-painting energy with a comfortable, friendly softness. Its assertive weight reads confident and promotional, while the rounded details keep it from feeling severe or formal.
Designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif voice with softened edges, pairing classic slab presence with a friendlier, more playful finish for display typography.
The italic slant and bulbous serifs create lively word shapes, especially in mixed-case text where rounded bowls and compact apertures add character. At smaller sizes the dense interior spaces can darken, so it benefits from generous tracking and breathable line spacing in longer passages.
