A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with softened corners and a consistent, even stroke color. Serifs are blocky and rounded, with blunt, cushion-like terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Counters are moderately open and shapes are broadly proportioned, producing a strong, steady rhythm across lines; the overall footprint feels wide and sturdy, with monospaced spacing that creates a regular, mechanical cadence. Figures and capitals read as robust and highly simplified, with minimal contrast and a clear emphasis on solid silhouettes.
Best suited to short-form display use where a strong, friendly voice is needed—posters, cover titles, packaging, and bold UI labels. It can also work for signage or badges where monospaced alignment is useful and the rounded slabs help maintain clarity at a distance.
The tone is warm and retro, evoking stamped lettering, old-school packaging, and informal industrial labeling. Its rounded slabs and steady slant give it an approachable, slightly playful character while still feeling practical and tough.
Designed to deliver a solid, high-impact slab-serif look with softened geometry and a consistent rhythm, prioritizing bold presence and an amiable, vintage-leaning texture. The monospaced structure suggests an intent toward systematic alignment and a steady typographic beat.
The uniform character widths and consistent sidebearings create visible vertical alignment in text, reinforcing a typewriter-like regularity. The italic angle is clear but not extreme, so the face retains a stable baseline presence while adding momentum.
