A heavy, block-built slab serif with thick stems and square-cut slabs that read like solid rectangles. Curves are slightly softened at the corners, giving bowls and rounds a subtly cushioned feel while keeping the overall geometry crisp. Counters are relatively compact, apertures are tight, and the joins stay blunt and robust, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase follows the same sturdy construction with a squat rhythm and strong horizontals, and the numerals match the weight and blocky, athletic proportions.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where its heavy slabs and compact counters can deliver maximum impact. It also fits sports and collegiate branding, labels and packaging that need a sturdy voice, and bold signage where clear, blocky forms carry at a distance.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a confident, workmanlike presence that suggests strength and stability. Its chunky slabs and compact interior spaces evoke classic collegiate and industrial signage, leaning into a vintage, American display sensibility.
The font appears designed to provide a powerful slab-serif voice that stays geometric and consistent while adding just enough corner rounding to keep the mass approachable. Its construction emphasizes strong silhouettes and high ink presence for attention-grabbing display typography.
The design relies on strong horizontal terminals and rectangular serifs to create a consistent, forceful silhouette, especially in all-caps settings. At larger sizes it feels punchy and iconic; in longer lines the dense counters and tight openings can make the texture feel packed and emphatic.
