A compact, heavy slab-serif design with broad, flat terminals and squared-off serifs that create a strong, block-like silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight interior counters and minimal modulation, producing dense letterforms that hold together as solid shapes. The proportions run narrow overall, with firm vertical emphasis and short, sturdy serifs that read clearly at display sizes. Curves are restrained and often squared in feeling, giving rounds like O/C and the numeral forms a pragmatic, engineered look.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a compact but forceful slab-serif voice is needed. It works well for sports/collegiate branding, labels and packaging, and short editorial callouts where dense letterforms and firm terminals help create an attention-grabbing typographic block.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-ready presence that also nods to vintage athletic and wood-type aesthetics. Its tight, punchy rhythm feels authoritative and energetic, suited to messages that need to land with weight and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using strong slab serifs and uniform heft to create a durable, vintage-leaning display texture. It prioritizes bold presence and high visual density for branding and titling applications.
Uppercase forms are particularly commanding, while the lowercase maintains the same dense, squared construction for consistent texture. Numerals match the heavy, compact voice, keeping the set cohesive for headlines that mix letters and numbers.
