A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and a strong, compact color on the page. Strokes are thick with crisp, squared slab terminals and subtly bracketed joins that soften the corners without losing weight. Curves are full and rounded, while counters stay relatively tight, creating a dense, punchy texture in text. The letterforms show small ink-trap-like notches at some interior corners and joins, and the serifs read as blunt, horizontal platforms that emphasize stability.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and short blocks of copy where a bold, traditional voice is needed. It works well for branding systems that want a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab presence—such as sports or collegiate identities, packaging, and editorial callouts—especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels confident and traditional, with a headline-forward presence that suggests posters, campus identity, and classic print. Its weight and slabs give it a no-nonsense authority, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with classic slab-serif cues: wide, weighty forms, firm terminals, and a dense typographic color that reads clearly and confidently in display settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent, dark rhythm across lines, with capitals that dominate and lowercase that remains highly legible at display sizes. The numerals are equally stout and attention-grabbing, matching the letterforms’ squared terminals and compact interior spaces.
