A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared contours and broad, flat terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, compact rhythm. Serifs read as bold rectangular slabs, and many joins and corners are slightly softened, keeping the geometry from feeling brittle. The x-height is tall with short ascenders and descenders, and widths vary modestly by character, giving the texture a pragmatic, workmanlike cadence rather than strict monospacing.
Best suited to headlines and display applications where solidity and punch are desirable, such as posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold editorial openers. It also fits sports and event branding that benefits from a strong, block-serif voice.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a distinctly retro, utilitarian flavor. It evokes signage, athletic/collegiate titling, and industrial labeling—confident, loud, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity with a squared slab-serif structure, prioritizing impact, durability, and straightforward legibility in large-format or attention-grabbing settings.
In running text the dense color and tight internal spaces create a strong headline texture, while the squared detailing keeps edges crisp at display sizes. Numerals match the same chunky, slabbed construction for consistent emphasis in settings that mix letters and figures.
