80's vibe she exudes.

It's a nice rubber. I'm pretty sure it falls under the category of hybrid cause it has a sticky topsheet
The sponge is moderately bouncy, like g1 bouncy

Since it is described as a soft rubber, I would have imagined it is Shore 0 (= ESN Standard), but then again it is "Made in China" and chinese use primarily Shore A, so take your pick...

42° Shore O would be about as soft as Aurus Soft, Rasanter 42, Xiom Vega Europe, Tenergy 05FX, T80FX, T64FX etc. and 42° Shore A would be very hard, harder than your H3 40°. Since I don't know the rubber, but you do, you should be able to decide with which type of the aforementioned rubbers the Hallmark Podium has more in common hardness-wise...

Probably shore A.
In the specs it's harder than h3, but it's also a lot bouncier. It's feels sorta like a lot of the modern hybrids, a tensor with a sticky topsheet. It's quite affordable and I think this is a rubber that is worth trying for others
