A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and pronounced, rectangular serifs. Strokes are largely even in weight, with tight interior counters and dense color on the page. Terminals and joins show subtle notches and cut-ins that resemble ink-trap-like detailing, helping define shapes at bold sizes. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a single-storey “a” and a rounded, closed “e,” while figures are thick and stable with wide, squared shoulders and strong baseline presence.
Ideal for bold headlines, posters, and large typographic statements where weight and presence are needed. It also suits logos, labels, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab serif voice, including collegiate or sports-oriented branding and merchandise graphics.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a distinctly retro, collegiate flavor. Its chunky forms and emphatic slabs project strength and practicality, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility through strong slabs, wide letterforms, and tightly controlled counters, while adding personality via small notches and softened geometry. It’s built to feel substantial and iconic in display contexts, with a nostalgic, team-brand energy.
The face reads best when given breathing room: the heavy weight and small counters create a compact texture, and tight apertures can close up in smaller settings. In display sizes, the crisp slab structure and cut-in details add character and a slightly industrial, sign-painting-adjacent feel.
