A heavy, slab-serif display face with compact proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are broadly consistent and strongly weighted, with sturdy bracketed serifs and gently rounded corners that keep the mass from feeling rigid. Many forms show slight angular quirks and subtle flare at joins, giving counters a pinched, carved quality and adding a hand-cut flavor. Curves are full and bulbous, and the overall silhouette reads as intentionally irregular while remaining coherent across the set.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its weight and quirky slab details can be appreciated: posters, headlines, storefront or event promotion, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, but its pronounced personality may overpower long-form text.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a mischievous, vintage-leaning personality. Its bouncy shapes and slightly off-kilter stance suggest amusement and informality rather than corporate seriousness, making it feel friendly, theatrical, and a bit eccentric.
The design appears intended as a characterful slab-serif for display typography, combining strong impact with a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered rhythm. Its sturdy structure supports readability, while the playful irregularities add distinctiveness and a retro editorial feel.
The uppercase has a strong, emblematic presence, while the lowercase stays wide and sturdy with pronounced serifs and rounded bowls that maintain legibility at larger sizes. Numerals are chunky and characterful, matching the overall playful stress and giving headings a consistent, poster-like texture.
