A compact slab-serif with heavy, rounded terminals and softly bracketed joins that give the letterforms a cushioned, molded feel. Strokes are thick and even with minimal modulation, and counters stay relatively open despite the dense weight. The serifs read as short, rounded pads rather than sharp slabs, creating a smooth rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Overall proportions feel slightly condensed with steady verticals and gently curved shoulders, keeping the texture dark but coherent in text.
Best suited to display roles where its dense color and rounded slabs can carry personality—headlines, packaging, posters, and branding marks. It can also work for short text blocks or pull quotes when a strong, friendly texture is desired, though the heavy weight will dominate at smaller sizes.
The rounded slab detailing lends a friendly, slightly nostalgic tone—more warm and approachable than formal. Its sturdy silhouettes suggest reliability and clarity, while the softened corners add a playful, inviting character suitable for expressive typography.
Designed to combine the assertiveness of a slab serif with softened, rounded endings for a more approachable voice. The consistent stroke weight and compact proportions appear aimed at producing a strong, readable impact in attention-driven settings.
Uppercase forms stay broad and stable with confident footing, while the lowercase maintains clear distinctions and a consistent, weighty color across lines. Numerals match the same rounded slab vocabulary, reading bold and poster-ready with simplified, high-contrast-free shapes.
