A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and large, squared counters. Strokes are largely even with subtle contrast, and the serifs read as thick, rectangular terminals with slight bracketing that helps the joins feel reinforced rather than sharp. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, O, S, and 8), while horizontals and verticals stay straight and stable, creating a strong, billboard-like rhythm. The lowercase is similarly weighty, with compact apertures and robust joins that keep texture dark and consistent in running text.
Best suited for display typography where impact matters: posters, headlines, storefront or wayfinding signage, sports and team-style graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for short callouts and labels where a compact, sturdy slab serif voice is desirable.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking classic poster wood type, team or collegiate lettering, and old-school signage. Its weight and wide stance give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels energetic and dependable rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and stability with a traditional slab-serif structure, balancing rounded forms with firm rectangular terminals for a classic, high-impact display texture.
In the sample text the density stays high, producing a solid typographic color; at smaller sizes this can tighten interior spaces, while at display sizes it delivers strong presence and clear shapes. Numerals match the letters’ mass and rounded geometry, with especially bold, simplified silhouettes suited to headline use.
