A heavy slab serif with compact, blocky construction and broad proportions. Stems are thick and confident, with bracketed slabs that read as strong horizontal anchors; many terminals end in squared-off, slightly cupped shapes that suggest subtle ink-trap-like cut-ins. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and curves (O, C, G) are round but reinforced by firm verticals and flattened joins. The lowercase is robust and straightforward, with a single-storey a and g and a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm that holds together well in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where weight and authority are desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, high-contrast-on-page texture, and can support bold branding applications with a vintage or collegiate flavor.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, poster-ready presence. Its chunky slabs and compact details evoke vintage print, athletic/collegiate signage, and industrial labeling while still feeling orderly and controlled.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a stable, grounded slab-serif structure, balancing strong verticals with substantial slabs for clear, attention-grabbing display typography. Details like bracketed joins and subtly notched terminals help keep the heavy weight legible and visually crisp.
In the sample text, the dark color and strong horizontals create a pronounced texture and line presence, emphasizing word shapes and punctuation. The numerals match the heavy, squared character of the letters, supporting bold, high-impact settings.
