A heavy, block-built slab serif with squarish proportions and rounded outer corners. Stems and slabs are thick and confident, with small bracket-like joins that keep corners from feeling overly sharp. Many letters show subtle cut-ins and notches at interior joins, creating a slightly stencil/ink-trap impression and adding texture to the dense weight. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the overall silhouette stays strongly geometric with consistent, sturdy rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where its dense weight and distinctive slab details can do the work. It fits especially well in sports branding, apparel-style graphics, labels and packaging, and bold signage where high impact and a rugged, structured voice are desired.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a varsity-and-workwear toughness that reads instantly at a distance. Its chunky slabs and engineered notches give it a pragmatic, industrial feel, while the softened corners keep it approachable and retro rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a controlled, architectural slab structure, adding functional-looking notches and softened corners to maintain clarity and character in heavy set sizes.
The uppercase has a strong, square presence, while the lowercase retains the same block logic for a cohesive, display-forward color. Numerals follow the same squared, cut-corner construction, helping mixed copy keep a uniform, poster-ready texture.
