A heavy slab serif with square-cut, largely unbracketed serifs and a dense, even color. Stems are thick and confident, with relatively tight interior counters that emphasize weight and presence. Curves are broad and controlled (not overly geometric), while terminals stay flat and blunt, creating a crisp, poster-ready texture. The lowercase shows a strong, workmanlike structure with a double-storey a and a single-storey g, and numerals are chunky and stable with consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short blocks of copy where impact matters—posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, sports or club branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for editorial section openers or pull quotes when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial and slightly collegiate feel. It reads as dependable and authoritative, leaning toward vintage signage and print-era robustness rather than delicate refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority with a straightforward slab-serif construction, pairing traditional letterforms with blunt, square terminals for a strong, utilitarian presence in display settings.
The wide slabs and compact counters create strong word shapes at large sizes, while the heavy weight can reduce clarity in very small text or in long passages. The rhythm is steady and uniform, favoring punch and solidity over lightness or air.
