A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared counters, flat terminals, and broad, rectangular serifs that read as integrated parts of the strokes. Corners are slightly eased rather than razor-sharp, giving the forms a machined, durable feel. Proportions are compact with a steady rhythm and clear, simple construction; joins and interior spaces stay open enough to hold up at display sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same robust, rectilinear logic, with consistent stroke mass and crisp, poster-like silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and branding systems that benefit from a sturdy, high-impact slab serif voice. It can work well for sports and collegiate-style graphics, bold editorial callouts, and short display copy where its dense texture and squared detailing remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a vintage athletic and industrial signage flavor. Its weight and square geometry project strength and practicality, leaning more toward bold communication than refinement.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, rectilinear letterforms and prominent slab serifs, echoing traditional poster wood-type and athletic lettering. Its consistent massing and squared detailing prioritize visibility and authority in display typography.
The design emphasizes squared bowls and counters and a no-nonsense baseline presence, creating strong word-shapes in all-caps settings. Lowercase maintains the same blocky character as the caps, reinforcing a unified, headline-oriented texture.
