A heavy serif with compact proportions and strongly flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like feet and caps. Strokes are thick and largely even, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the texture dense but not harsh. Counters are relatively tight, and several glyphs show subtle notches and pinched connections that create an ink-trap-like ruggedness in the interior shapes. The overall rhythm is sturdy and blocky, with a slightly carved, poster-like silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where mass and presence matter: headlines, posters, signage, and bold packaging labels. It also works well for sports or team-style branding and short emphatic copy where the dense texture and flared serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone reads bold and traditional with a distinctly retro, collegiate energy. Its chunky forms and flared endings give it a confident, headline-forward voice that feels familiar in vintage advertising, sports branding, and classic display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact while retaining a classic serif identity, using flared terminals and softened detailing to keep large, dark letterforms readable and distinctive. Its cohesive, blocky construction suggests a focus on strong word shapes for branding and attention-grabbing titles.
Uppercase forms are wide and stable with prominent baseline anchoring, while the lowercase maintains strong weight with short extenders and simple, workmanlike shapes. Numerals are equally hefty and built for impact, matching the letters in density and terminal treatment for consistent color in text blocks.
