A heavy, compact slab-serif with broad proportions and softened corners, built from chunky stems and prominent rectangular slabs. Stroke endings frequently show small interior notches and cut-ins that read like ink traps or stencil-like scoops, giving the shapes a carved, dimensional feel. Counters are generally open and rounded, with sturdy joins and a consistent, high-impact silhouette; lowercase forms are large and robust, keeping the texture dense and even in setting. Numerals follow the same weight and rounding, with simple, bold forms and minimal fine detail.
Best suited to display applications where weight and personality are an advantage—headlines, posters, signage, and packaging. It also works well for short logo-type and bold labels where its sculpted slabs and rounded forms can be read quickly and remembered easily.
The overall tone is exuberant and throwback, mixing a friendly softness with a bold, poster-ready attitude. The pronounced slabs and sculpted terminals evoke vintage display typography—suggesting classic Americana and mid-century advertising—while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than severe.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a nostalgic, decorative slab-serif voice, combining chunky geometry and softened edges for high legibility and a distinctive, characterful texture in large type.
The face creates a strong rhythmic pattern in text, with distinctive terminal detailing that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Its dense color and broad letterforms prioritize impact over delicacy, and the consistent rounding helps maintain cohesion across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
