A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions, strongly shaped counters, and noticeable stroke modulation. Stems are massive and often flare into blunt, rectangular slabs, while many joins and inside corners show small notches or cut-ins that read as ink-trap or stencil-like detailing. Curves are generously rounded, producing bulbous bowls (notably in O, Q, a, e) and soft transitions into the serifs. The lowercase has a tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, with simple, sturdy forms and occasional ball-like terminals; figures are equally weighty and wide, built from the same blunt slabs and rounded interior spaces.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short blocks where its heavy slabs and rounded forms can deliver strong presence. It works well for retro-themed branding, packaging, event posters, storefront-style signage, and other applications where a bold, characterful texture is desirable.
The tone is bold and buoyant, leaning toward retro sign lettering and poster typography. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky interior cut-ins give it a personable, slightly mischievous character that feels designed to grab attention rather than disappear into body text.
The design appears intended to combine traditional slab-serif structure with a playful, display-driven silhouette—using exaggerated weight, wide forms, and deliberate interior cut-ins to maintain clarity while adding personality and a distinctive stamped/engraved feel.
Spacing and rhythm read dense and impactful, with large black shapes and relatively small interior apertures that emphasize texture over fine detail. The distinctive notches within bowls and at joins become a defining motif in text settings, creating a patterned, almost carved look across words.
