A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with broad proportions and a steady, low-modulation stroke. Serifs are square and flat-ended, with crisp right-angle joins that create a cut-from-solid feel. Counters are relatively tight and forms are simplified, producing strong silhouettes and even color. Rounded letters (like O and C) stay robust and full, while diagonals (V, W, X) maintain thick, consistent weight and blunt terminals. The overall rhythm is assertive and stable, favoring impact over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where impact and immediacy are priorities. It performs well on posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging, and brand marks that need a sturdy, retro-leaning presence. For longer reading, it will typically benefit from generous size and spacing to keep counters open and rhythm comfortable.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a distinctly vintage, workhorse character. It reads as practical and authoritative, evoking classic display typography used for headlines, signage, and institutional or sporting contexts. The weight and square serifs add a grounded, dependable personality that feels loud without being ornate.
Likely designed as a high-impact slab serif for display use, prioritizing bold presence, sturdy geometry, and quick recognition. The square-ended serifs and simplified, blocky construction suggest an intention to echo classic American display traditions while staying clean and highly reproducible across print and digital applications.
In the text sample, the dense weight and tight internal spaces create a strong typographic “wall,” making it especially effective at larger sizes. Short serifs and squared terminals help maintain clarity in chunky shapes, while the wide stance keeps words from feeling cramped despite the heavy strokes.
