A compact, heavy display serif with slab-like feet and softly rounded terminals throughout. Strokes are consistently thick, with gentle curves and blunt, cushioned corners that keep the forms approachable rather than rigid. Counters are relatively tight and the overall width is compressed, producing a dense, punchy texture in text. The design favors sturdy verticals, simplified joins, and rounded bracket-like transitions into serifs, creating a rhythmic, slightly bouncy silhouette across capitals and lowercase.
Works well for headlines, posters, and short-form copy where a compact, attention-grabbing serif is needed. It is also a strong fit for packaging, labels, and brand marks that benefit from a retro-friendly tone and sturdy letterforms.
The overall tone feels nostalgic and personable, with a playful, handcrafted warmth despite its strong weight. Its rounded slab details give it a friendly, approachable voice that reads as retro signage or casual editorial display rather than formal book typography.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, space-efficient display texture with softened slab features—combining the authority of a heavy serif with rounded, inviting details for approachable branding and punchy titling.
The numerals and capitals are particularly assertive, with blocky structures softened by rounded ends, which helps maintain clarity at larger sizes. In paragraph-like settings the dense weight and tight counters create a dark color, suggesting best use where strong presence is desired rather than long-form reading.
