A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely uniform, with thick, rectangular slabs that read as gently bracketed rather than razor-sharp, and terminals that feel squared-off but slightly softened. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and stout joins, producing dense word shapes; round letters (o, e, c) are wide with tight apertures, while diagonals (v, w, x) remain hefty and stable. Numerals are similarly wide and weighty, maintaining consistent color and a strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where strong texture and width can be an asset—posters, signage, bold editorial headers, and punchy packaging labels. It can also work for sporty or heritage-leaning branding systems that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif voice.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a workmanlike solidity that nods to vintage advertising and collegiate/industrial lettering. Its mass and softened slab geometry give it a friendly confidence rather than an aggressive feel, making it read as energetic, loud, and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a solid, slab-serif structure and an inviting, retro-leaning presence. Its broad forms and tall lowercase are tuned for legibility at display sizes while maintaining a consistent, assertive typographic color.
In text, the heavy texture and tight interior space create high visual impact and a compact rhythm, favoring shorter lines and larger sizes. The strong slabs and wide set make punctuation and small details feel secondary to the overall blocky silhouette.
