A heavy, block-forward slab serif with squared proportions and assertive, bracketed serifs. Strokes read as largely even, with subtle modulation and pronounced, flat terminals that give the forms a carved, poster-ready solidity. Counters are relatively tight and the joins are chunky, producing a dense texture in text. The lowercase is built from robust, rounded bowls paired with firm slabs; the overall fit feels compact and rhythmically steady, with strong verticals and clear, wide-shouldered arches.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display settings where strong typographic color and immediate readability are needed. It also fits logos, packaging, and label systems that benefit from a sturdy, traditional-meets-industrial slab presence. In longer passages it can work for short bursts or emphasized text, but its dense weight is most effective at larger sizes.
The font projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with a collegiate and vintage-print character. Its weight and slabs lend it an authoritative, workmanlike presence that can feel both traditional and boldly contemporary depending on context. The overall voice is loud, sturdy, and straightforward—more about impact than delicacy.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a stable, grounded slab-serif structure and a compact, forceful texture. The letterforms prioritize bold recognition and a classic, print-rooted feel, aiming for a dependable display workhorse for branding and headline typography.
The numerals and caps carry a uniform, sign-like sturdiness, while the lowercase maintains legibility through large interior shapes despite the dense weight. The heavy serifs and tight spacing create a dark typographic color that becomes especially commanding at larger sizes. Some corners and joins suggest a slightly engineered, cut-from-solid aesthetic rather than calligraphic softness.
