A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, strong vertical stress, and crisp, rectangular terminals. Serifs are prominent and mostly flat-ended with subtle bracketing where they join the stems, giving the shapes a carved, poster-like solidity. Bowls and counters are relatively compact for the weight, with clear cut-ins at joins that add snap to the silhouettes. The lowercase shows robust, stable forms with short-to-moderate extenders and a straightforward, non-calligraphic construction; figures are thick and weighty with strong presence and minimal delicacy.
Best suited for headlines, cover lines, and short blocks of display text where its weight and slab structure can do the work. It also fits branding applications that need a strong, traditional voice—such as labels, signage, and sports or collegiate-style identities.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a classic, print-forward feel that reads as established and dependable. Its bold slabs and squared finishing convey an industrial, collegiate, and headline-ready energy, leaning more toward heritage and authority than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a familiar slab-serif voice: wide, sturdy letterforms, emphatic serifs, and a consistent, squared finishing that keeps the style cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures. It prioritizes presence and authority in display contexts over delicate detail.
At larger sizes the blunt terminals and dense internal spaces create impactful word shapes, while in tighter settings the heavy joins and compact counters can build dark texture. The ampersand and numerals share the same chunky, squared-off logic, helping mixed-content layouts feel cohesive.
