A heavy slab serif with dense, block-like construction and square-ended terminals. Serifs are broad and strongly bracketed, giving joins a molded, carved feel rather than sharp hairline transitions. Counters are relatively tight and rounded-rectangular, and the overall rhythm is compact with short extenders and robust horizontals that hold up well in large, dark settings. The lowercase follows a sturdy, minimally calligraphic model with a single-storey g and substantial, square-shouldered forms, while numerals match the same chunky, sign-ready proportions.
Best for display typography such as headlines, posters, signage, and branding where high impact and a sturdy voice are desired. It also suits packaging, labels, and sports or event graphics that benefit from a compact, vintage slab presence.
The tone is confident and blunt, with a workwear practicality that reads as vintage and utilitarian. Its bold slabs and compact mass evoke classic poster lettering, team/collegiate marks, and old-style storefront or product stamp aesthetics.
The likely intent is a high-impact slab serif built for immediate legibility and a tough, heritage-flavored character, prioritizing bold silhouettes, durable joins, and a consistent, stamp-like texture across text and numerals.
The design favors solidity over delicacy: interior space is conserved, terminals feel flat and machined, and the overall silhouette stays consistent across letters and figures. In paragraphs the dark color builds quickly, making it best suited to display sizes where the bracketed slabs and strong shapes can be appreciated without clogging.
