A heavy slab serif with chunky, rectangular serifs and clear bracketed joins that soften the corners without losing mass. Strokes are broadly uniform with enough contrast to keep counters open, and the overall color is dense and dark on the page. Proportions lean compact with sturdy verticals and wide, flat terminals, producing a steady rhythm in all-caps while the lowercase stays similarly weighty and grounded. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the letterforms’ squared-off construction for consistent headline presence.
This face is well suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold editorial openers where a solid, authoritative voice is needed. It also fits identity work like logos, badges, and sports or team-style branding, and can add a rugged, heritage feel to packaging and labels.
The tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a vintage, workwear flavor that reads as sturdy rather than refined. Its strong slabs and compact shapes evoke traditional American display typography—reliable, loud, and unmistakably bold.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif silhouette—combining blocky strength with enough shaping and internal space to stay readable in large, attention-getting settings.
At text sizes the weight and slab structure create a strong typographic texture, so it’s best used where firmness and impact are priorities. The punctuation and mixed-case sample show a consistent, tightly built system that maintains legibility through generous internal counters despite the heavy weight.
