A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, tight interior counters, and strongly grounded, rectangular serifs. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thick verticals and slightly lighter joins, while terminals stay blunt and squared for a firm, blocklike silhouette. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with short ascenders and stout bowls; details like the two-storey “a” and the firm, straight-sided numerals reinforce a structured, utilitarian rhythm. Overall spacing reads dense and weighty, producing dark, even texture in paragraphs and very strong presence in headlines.
Best suited to bold display work such as posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, product packaging, and branding marks that need immediate impact. It also performs well for short editorial heads and pull quotes where a dense, authoritative slab texture is desirable.
The tone is assertive and hardworking, evoking vintage display typography with an industrial, collegiate-to-western edge. It feels authoritative and practical rather than delicate, projecting reliability and strength in large sizes.
The font appears intended as a high-impact slab serif for attention-grabbing typography, balancing sturdy construction with enough contrast to keep letterforms lively. Its broad stance and squared finishing suggest a focus on visibility, permanence, and a classic display personality.
The design leans on flat cuts, right-angled joins, and wide, stable serifs that create a strong baseline and clear block shapes. Counters are relatively closed at bold sizes, which increases punch but can reduce clarity in small text.
