A dense slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and a predominantly squared-off skeleton. Strokes show clear, noticeable modulation, but the overall color remains dark and solid due to the weight. Terminals and corners are crisp, with mild bracketing where stems meet slabs, giving the shapes a machined, poster-like finish. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean toward closed forms, creating a compact, emphatic rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold packaging callouts where a strong typographic silhouette is needed. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif presence, but will feel heavy in small sizes or long passages due to its dense spacing and dark overall color.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a traditional American display feel that reads as assertive and dependable. Its hefty slabs and compact counters suggest classic signage and sports/collegiate messaging, delivering a no-nonsense, high-impact voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a tough, block-constructed slab-serif voice, balancing sturdy geometry with enough stroke modulation to avoid monotony. It aims for clear, authoritative display typography that holds up in attention-grabbing applications.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with a strong horizontal presence in letters like E, F, and T. The lowercase maintains weighty stems and sturdy joins, while the numerals appear built for impact rather than delicacy, matching the font’s bold, squared texture.
