A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions and a compact, powerful silhouette. The serifs are thick and strongly integrated, with subtle bracketing and softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp. Strokes are generally even, with only modest shaping through joins and terminals; counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, contributing to a dense color on the page. Curves (like C, G, O, and S) are wide and weighty, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) maintain a blunt, engineered feel. Numerals are similarly robust and legible, designed to hold up at display sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong impact and stability are needed. It can work effectively on packaging, labels, and signage thanks to its stout forms and clear letter silhouettes. The dense weight and compact counters make it most comfortable at display sizes or with slightly increased letterspacing in smaller settings.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense tone that reads as confident and workmanlike. Its thick slabs and dense texture evoke vintage signage and sports or collegiate lettering, with a contemporary polish from the rounded detailing. Overall it feels authoritative and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or literary.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority with a slab-serif voice—combining wide, sturdy letterforms and thick serifs for high impact. The softened edges and subtle bracketing suggest a goal of balancing ruggedness with approachability, making it adaptable to both retro-leaning and modern commercial contexts.
Spacing appears generous enough for large headlines, but the tight interior spaces suggest it will benefit from comfortable tracking at smaller sizes. The lowercase is built with sturdy, simplified shapes and prominent serifs, aligning closely with the uppercase for a consistent, block-forward rhythm.
