A heavy, wide slab-serif with compact counters and a strong, rectangular build. Strokes are mostly uniform with subtle contrast, and the slab serifs read as thick, squared platforms that give the letters a planted, stable stance. Curves are broad and slightly squared-off at joins, producing a dense, poster-ready texture; the lowercase is robust with a sturdy two-storey “g” and a pronounced, shelf-like foot on forms such as “t.” Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded-square in construction, designed to hold their shape at large sizes.
Best suited to display typography where weight and width can do the work—headlines, poster copy, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand marks. It can also serve short blocks of emphasis text where a strong, vintage slab voice is desired, though the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for long reading.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a vintage advertising and collegiate/athletic poster feel. Its mass and wide proportions project strength and immediacy, leaning toward an industrial, Americana-flavored presence rather than delicate refinement.
Designed to deliver a high-impact slab-serif voice with wide proportions and durable, squared detailing—optimized for attention-grabbing titles and branding that need a sturdy, retro-leaning authority.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the heavy forms from clogging, while the interior shapes remain intentionally tight to maximize impact. The font creates a dark, even color in text settings, with distinctive slab details that stay visible in display sizes.
