A heavy slab-serif with broad, squared forms and confident, bracketed serifs that read as cut, machined blocks rather than delicate pen work. Strokes are thick with noticeable but not extreme contrast, and terminals are predominantly blunt, giving the letterforms a dense, poster-ready color. Counters are relatively tight (notably in B, R, a, e), while curves in C, G, O, and S stay smooth and weighty, maintaining a consistent rhythm. The lowercase shows sturdy, traditional serif construction with a single-storey a and g, and a tall, solid i/j with prominent dots, supporting strong legibility at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format typography where its dense weight and slab serifs can project authority. It also fits sports branding, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, industrial voice and clear letter differentiation at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a classic American print sensibility that feels both workwear and headline-driven. It carries a vintage editorial flavor—authoritative and slightly rugged—without becoming ornate or nostalgic to the point of novelty.
This font appears intended as a high-impact slab serif for display typography, combining traditional serif structure with reinforced, modernized slabs to maximize presence and readability in bold settings.
The design favors strong verticals and squared-off joins, producing a firm baseline and a clear silhouette in all caps. Numerals are equally weighty and built for impact, with simple, emphatic shapes that match the caps’ blocky presence.
