A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and strongly rectangular construction. The serifs are thick and squared with subtle bracketing, creating a sturdy, poster-ready texture. Curves are generous but kept tight, with small apertures and interior shapes that read as punched-out voids; several joins show slight notches/cut-ins that add a chiseled, ink-trap-like character. Uppercase forms are especially monumental, while lowercase maintains a robust, workmanlike rhythm with wide bowls and blunt terminals.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold brand marks where strong letterforms need to hold their shape. It also fits sports and collegiate identities, product packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, projecting a classic collegiate and vintage display energy with a hint of Western/industrial signage. Its mass and squared details feel bold, traditional, and attention-seeking rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended as a high-impact slab serif for display settings, balancing classic, sign-painting-era sturdiness with practical interior cut-ins that support clarity at heavy weights. It prioritizes presence, rhythm, and a familiar heritage feel over minimalism or fine typographic subtlety.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for display use, helping the dense forms stay readable. The figures follow the same blocky logic as the letters, with strong presence and simplified interior shaping that favors impact over fine detail.
