A heavy, sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with rounded curves and full, bulb-like terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. The overall texture is dark and emphatic, with relatively short extenders and compact joins that lend a solid, blocky rhythm. Numerals and capitals read especially stable, with wide bowls and firm horizontal slabs that create a strong baseline and capline presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold editorial typography where strong presence and a dark text color are desirable. It can also work for packaging and branding that needs a traditional, sturdy slab-serif voice, and for short text passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes.
The font conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly classic, print-forward attitude. Its chunky slabs and assertive contrast give it an industrial, collegiate flavor that feels authoritative and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or formal.
Likely drawn to deliver a forceful slab-serif statement with traditional cues—bracketed serifs, noticeable modulation, and ample curves—optimized for impact and readability in display settings.
The design maintains good differentiation between similar shapes through generous counters and clear serif cues, helping legibility at larger sizes. Curved letters (like C, O, S) appear softly squared by weight and contrast, producing a sturdy, poster-like color across lines of text.
