A heavy, slab-serif design with thick, rectangular serifs and blunt, flat terminals that keep the silhouette blocky and compact. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong horizontal/vertical rhythm. The lowercase is robust and compact with sturdy stems and simple joins, while the numerals share the same squared-off, weighty construction. Overall spacing reads tight-to-moderate in display settings, emphasizing mass and stability over delicacy.
Best suited to large sizes where its heavy slabs and compact counters can project impact—headlines, posters, and bold editorial openers. It also fits sports or collegiate-style branding, labels and packaging that need a sturdy voice, and short signage or wayfinding where quick recognition and solidity matter.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a bold, no-nonsense presence that feels institutional and familiar. Its squared slabs and dense color evoke signage, uniforms, and headline typography with a slightly retro, collegiate energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority with a straightforward slab-serif structure: strong serifs, low-friction geometry, and a dense typographic color that holds up in attention-grabbing applications.
The design relies on straight edges and right-angled details, creating crisp corners and a consistent, poster-ready texture. Round letters maintain a somewhat squared impression through heavy weight and firm terminals, helping the face feel cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
