A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Serifs are thick and strongly bracketed, with a chiseled, notched feel where joins and corners create small triangular cut-ins that read like ink-trap-like details at display sizes. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) are full and wide with sturdy terminals, while verticals and horizontals keep a consistent, muscular rhythm. Lowercase forms are robust and simplified, with a single-storey a and g, a firm, upright stance, and short, sturdy ascenders/descenders that preserve an even texture in dense settings. Numerals match the same chunky construction and high visual weight.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, badges, and signage where its chunky slabs and notched joins hold visual authority. It also fits packaging and branding that aims for a rugged, vintage, or collegiate voice, and works well for short blocks of copy when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, blending classic slab-serif reliability with a frontier/collegiate poster energy. Its notched corners and thick slabs create a stamped, workwear character that feels nostalgic and attention-grabbing rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif skeleton, emphasizing bold, emblematic shapes and a slightly carved/stamped finish. Its broad proportions and simplified lowercase suggest a focus on legibility and character in display applications.
In text samples the strong horizontals and slabs create pronounced striping, making the face most comfortable at larger sizes where the counters open up and the notched details read as intentional shaping. The capitals feel especially emblematic and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains a solid, utilitarian texture suitable for short lines and emphatic messaging.
