A heavy, blocky slab-serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and sturdy rectangular serifs. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and terminals keep a squared, machined feel. The serifs are strongly bracketed, giving the shapes a carved, slightly softened edge rather than sharp, linear slabs. Lowercase forms are substantial and upright with short-to-moderate extenders, and the figures are bold, wide, and built for impact.
This style excels in headlines and short bursts of copy where strong presence is needed—posters, signage, and bold editorial titling. It also suits logos, team/athletic branding, and packaging labels that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab look.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, mixing a vintage sign-painting and varsity/athletic flavor with a practical, industrial sturdiness. Its mass and squared rhythm communicate confidence and reliability, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded curves and bracketed serifs.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif voice—solid, approachable, and unmistakably bold—while keeping enough rounding and bracketing to avoid a harsh, purely geometric feel.
In text, the heavy color creates a strong horizontal rhythm and a compact texture; tight apertures and small counters can close up quickly at smaller sizes. The design reads best when given room to breathe, where the slab details and rounded shaping remain distinct.
