A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and square, unbracketed serifs that read like straight-cut terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many corners are subtly softened, giving the forms a machined, molded feel rather than a sharp engraved one. Counters tend toward squarish, rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in O/0 and several lowercase bowls), and apertures are generally tight, creating a dense, punchy texture. The lowercase is sturdy and utilitarian, with single-story a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and a strong baseline presence that keeps paragraphs visually even at large sizes.
Best suited to display roles where impact matters—headlines, large subheads, posters, and bold callouts. It also fits sports branding, workwear/industrial labeling aesthetics, packaging, and wayfinding or signage where a sturdy, blocky voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a sports-and-signage energy that feels practical and tough. Its squared geometry and stout serifs evoke classic collegiate lettering and industrial labeling, while the softened corners add a friendly, approachable edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a stable, squared slab-serif structure that stays legible at a glance. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a cohesive, dense rhythm for branding and display settings that benefit from a rugged, athletic character.
In text, the font produces a dark, continuous color with relatively little internal whitespace, so it performs best when given generous tracking or set at display sizes. Numerals and caps share the same squared, robust construction, supporting consistent headline and branding use.
