A very heavy slab serif with broad, square-cut terminals and a distinctly blocky silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as strong rectangular slabs rather than delicate finishing details. Counters are relatively tight (notably in B, R, a, and e), while curves remain smooth and generous in C, O, and G, creating a clear, high-impact rhythm. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with a single-storey a and g, and the figures are wide and bold, designed to hold up as solid shapes at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where maximum impact is needed—headlines, posters, labels, and storefront-style signage. The heavy slabs and compact interiors make it effective on packaging and branding systems that need a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice, and it can also serve as a strong accent font alongside a lighter text face.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a vintage, poster-ready presence. Its chunky slabs and compact counters evoke heritage signage and athletic/collegiate lettering, projecting strength and straightforwardness rather than refinement.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold slab-serif voice optimized for attention and durability, combining square terminals with ample curves for clarity at large sizes. It prioritizes solidity and recognizability, aiming for a classic, utilitarian aesthetic that reads quickly and confidently.
Horizontals and verticals land with crisp, square endings, giving the face a stamped or cut-from-solid feel. The texture in paragraphs is dense and dark, favoring punchy headlines over airy reading comfort.
