A heavy, block-driven slab serif with broad proportions and dense, compact counters. Strokes are largely uniform, with sturdy square slabs and subtly bracketed transitions that soften some joins. Curves (C, O, S, and the rounded lowercase) are full and weighty, while terminals stay blunt and grounded. The lowercase shows sturdy, simple construction with round dots and minimal calligraphic inflection, keeping the texture even and strongly graphic in words and paragraphs.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display typography, badges, and bold wordmarks. It can work in packaging and signage where strong shape recognition matters, while longer passages will feel intentionally dense and attention-grabbing.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, leaning into a vintage, poster-ready presence. It reads as confident and slightly nostalgic, with an athletic/collegiate and industrial flavor that feels built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority through thick strokes, wide silhouettes, and emphatic slabs, while retaining enough rounding and bracketing to keep the forms approachable. It targets display use where a sturdy, retro-leaning voice is desirable.
The weight and tight interior spaces create a dark, solid color on the page; spacing and proportions emphasize mass and stability. Numerals follow the same chunky, slabbed logic, keeping figures prominent and sign-like.
