A heavy, block-built slab serif with square-ended terminals and flat, rectangular serifs throughout. Strokes stay largely uniform, giving the letters a monoline, poster-like solidity, while corners are mostly crisp with only slight rounding where curves meet stems. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact bowls and counters, and the numerals follow the same chunky, geometric construction for a consistent overall color in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other display settings where a dense, impactful presence is needed. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, retro-leaning slab serif voice.
The tone is bold and straightforward, with a vintage, sports-and-print feel that reads as dependable and assertive rather than delicate. Its strong slabs and squared shapes add a workmanlike, no-nonsense character that also feels approachable and familiar.
The likely intention is to deliver maximum impact with a consistent, squared slab structure—prioritizing bold legibility and a strong graphic silhouette. Its construction suggests a design aimed at attention-grabbing display typography with a classic, print-inspired sensibility.
The design emphasizes horizontals and blunt terminals, producing a tight, rhythmic texture in running lines. Curved forms (like C, G, O, and the lowercase bowls) remain broad and weighty, helping the font hold up visually at large sizes and in short bursts of text.
