A heavy, slab‑serif typeface with broad proportions and pronounced bracketed serifs. Stems are thick and steady, with gently rounded joins and softened interior corners that create a slightly “inked” look at display sizes. Counters are compact but clear, and round letters (O, C, G) read as robust, near-circular forms with strong terminals. The lowercase keeps sturdy, two‑storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a strong, bracketed foot on l; figures are weighty with generous curves and firm slab endings.
Best suited for display work where impact and authority are needed—headlines, posters, signage, logos, and packaging. It also fits sports or collegiate-themed graphics and editorial feature titling. For longer reading, it performs more comfortably at larger sizes with ample leading due to its dark, saturated text color.
The overall tone is bold and assured, with a classic, workmanlike presence that feels both traditional and slightly vintage. Its strong slabs and compact counters give it a sporty, collegiate and poster-like energy, while the softened corners add warmth and approachability rather than strict austerity.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, unmistakable presence through heavy slabs and broad letterforms, while retaining a classic serif structure for familiarity. The slight softening at corners and joins suggests an aim for a friendly, printed feel rather than a rigid, geometric slab.
In text settings, the dense weight produces a dark color and a punchy rhythm, making spacing and line breaks important for comfort. The uppercase appears particularly commanding, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, sturdy texture that supports subheads and short passages when sized generously.
