A heavy slab-serif design with chunky, rectangular serifs and sturdy stems that read as solid black shapes at display sizes. Curves are broad and somewhat squared-off, producing a blocky silhouette, while counters stay relatively tight in letters like B, P, R, and a. The rhythm is strong and even, with simplified joins and minimal stroke modulation, giving the face a robust, poster-oriented texture. Numerals match the weight and squareness of the letters, with bold, stable forms designed for impact.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and other display settings where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can work effectively for branding and packaging that call for a bold, dependable slab-serif impression, and for signage where weight and simple forms help maintain presence at a distance.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a classic, workmanlike presence that feels at home in bold headlines. Its slab structure and dense color suggest authority and reliability, with an athletic/collegiate edge that can also read as rugged and industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through thick slabs, compact counters, and a steady, upright stance. It aims for a familiar slab-serif authority—prioritizing robustness and legibility in large sizes over fine detail—while keeping letterforms consistent and straightforward for broad display use.
At text sizes the heavy serifs and tight interior spaces create a dark, emphatic line, so it performs best with generous tracking and leading. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, sturdy construction that prioritizes punch over delicacy, making it especially suited to short phrases and high-contrast layouts.
