A heavy, block-forward slab serif with square-ended serifs and terminals, built from broad, simplified shapes and tightly enclosed counters. The strokes show clear contrast between thick stems and thinner joins, while corners and slab ends stay crisp and flat for a machined, sturdy feel. Proportions are expansive and set with generous width, giving uppercase a strong billboard presence; lowercase mirrors that weight with rounded bowls and compact apertures, keeping texture dense and dark. Figures are similarly chunky and prominent, with sturdy curves and flat details that match the serif rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, large-scale signage, and brand marks that benefit from a solid, authoritative voice. It also fits packaging and labels that want a robust, retro-industrial feel, and works well for sports or collegiate-style messaging where width and weight communicate strength.
The overall tone is confident and forceful, with a classic sign-and-poster energy. Its bold slabs and wide stance evoke vintage athletic lettering, industrial labeling, and headline typography that aims to be unmistakable at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority through broad proportions, heavy slabs, and high-contrast detailing, translating traditional slab-serif cues into a simplified, square-ended display style. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and consistent rhythm across characters for attention-grabbing typographic statements.
Letterforms maintain a consistent, squared-off terminal language across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings feel unified. In paragraphs the dense color and compact counters create a strong typographic “wall,” favoring emphasis over delicacy, especially at smaller sizes.
