A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad, squared-off terminals and subtly bracketed joins that keep the silhouette rounded rather than purely mechanical. Strokes are consistently thick with only modest modulation, and many forms combine straight-sided structure with softened bowls and shoulders. The x-height reads large, with short ascenders/descenders and compact internal counters that emphasize density. Overall spacing and proportions feel sturdy and poster-ready, with a slightly playful, vintage rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where mass and presence matter: headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks. It also fits sports and team-style graphics, merchandise, and packaging that benefits from a bold, vintage-leaning slab serif voice. In longer text, its dense color and compact counters suggest using generous size and spacing for comfort.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a classic athletic/collegiate sturdiness with a warm, slightly retro friendliness. Its chunky shapes project confidence and impact without feeling sharp or aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab serif structure while keeping the overall feel approachable through rounded curves and bracketed details. The large lowercase presence and robust numerals point to use in attention-grabbing copy and identity work where clarity and personality are both priorities.
Uppercase forms lean on strong verticals and pronounced slabs, while lowercase maintains heft through rounded bowls and thick joints. Numerals are similarly weighty and built for visibility, supporting punchy, high-contrast layouts even at a distance.
