A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and largely even stroke weight. The letterforms are broad and open, with generous counters and a clear, assertive rhythm. Serifs read as mostly bracketed rather than razor-sharp, and terminals tend toward squared, flat finishes that reinforce the blocky texture. Curves are firm and controlled (not calligraphic), and joins feel solid, giving the face a compact, high-ink presence. Numerals and capitals carry similar heft and width, creating a consistent, poster-ready color across lines of text.
Well-suited for headlines, deck copy, posters, and packaging where a strong, dependable voice is needed. It also works effectively for signage and brand marks that benefit from broad proportions and sturdy slab details, and can hold up in short to medium text blocks when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workmanlike confidence. It evokes classic print vernacular—newspaper headlines, athletic and collegiate lettering, and mid-century signage—while staying clean enough for contemporary editorial use.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, authoritative slab-serif voice with wide, readable forms and consistent, low-variation strokes. The emphasis appears to be on impact and durability—clear shapes, strong serifs, and a stable rhythm that reads quickly in display settings.
In the text sample, the bold slabs create strong word shapes and clear emphasis, especially in capitals and mixed-case headlines. The wide proportions and large internal spaces help maintain legibility despite the heavy weight, producing a steady, rhythmic texture rather than a cramped one.
