A heavy, block-forward slab serif with wide proportions and strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes are mostly straight and geometric with softened inner curves, giving the letterforms a carved, punchy silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and the joins feel dense, while contrast shows up subtly through slightly lighter horizontals and weight modulation in curved letters. The lowercase keeps a tall x-height and simplified, sturdy shapes; the overall rhythm is bold and even, optimized for impact rather than delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where a bold slab voice is needed. It also fits sports and collegiate-style branding, product packaging, and any short-form copy that benefits from a sturdy, high-impact presence.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, evoking vintage signage, athletic lettering, and old-school print display. It reads as loud, grounded, and dependable, with a classic Americana flavor that feels energetic and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a familiar slab-serif structure: wide stance, strong serifs, and compact counters that hold up in attention-grabbing settings. Its simplified shapes and consistent heft suggest a focus on clarity and authority in display typography.
At display sizes it produces strong, dark typographic color and clear slab presence; in longer lines the dense counters and heavy horizontals can feel compressed, favoring short headlines and emphatic callouts. Numerals match the blocky, slabbed construction for consistent texture in pricing or data callouts.
