A heavy, tightly built slab serif with broad proportions and strong, rectangular serifs. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thick stems and comparatively finer joins and curves, producing a crisp, high-impact silhouette. Serifs are mostly squared with slight bracketing, giving corners a firm but not overly sharp finish. Curves (C, G, O, S) are full and rounded, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) are stout and stable. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with short extenders and a prominent, dark texture; counters are relatively small, especially in a, e, and s. Numerals are equally weighty and wide, designed to match the font’s dense, poster-ready color.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, posters, and branding where strong emphasis and a classic slab-serif authority are desired. It also fits packaging and label-style applications that benefit from a dense, punchy typographic texture, and works well for sports or collegiate-inspired wordmarks.
The tone is bold and declarative, leaning toward vintage and collegiate cues—confident, slightly rugged, and built to command attention. Its substantial slabs and dark rhythm suggest classic print traditions like headlines, sports branding, and mid-century editorial display.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif backbone—combining broad, sturdy letterforms with enough contrast to keep shapes crisp at display sizes. The overall intention reads as attention-grabbing and confidently vintage, optimized for bold titles and statement typography.
The design maintains a consistent, emphatic rhythm across the alphabet, with sturdy terminals and strong baseline presence. In the sample text, the weight creates tight word shapes and pronounced paragraph color, favoring short bursts of text over extended reading at smaller sizes.
