A compact slab-serif with heavy, square-cut serifs and a strongly built skeleton. Strokes read largely even in weight, producing a dense, dark color and a punchy rhythm at display sizes. The letterforms favor straight-sided geometry and firm corners, with broad shoulders and blunt terminals that keep counters tight and silhouettes bold. Spacing appears conservative and the overall set feels engineered for impact rather than delicacy.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding where strong shapes must hold up at distance. It can also work for branding and packaging that need a sturdy, traditional voice, and for sports-leaning graphics where compact, forceful letterforms are desirable.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a classic, old-school solidity that recalls posters, team graphics, and utilitarian signage. Its compact width and blocky slabs create an emphatic voice—confident, slightly nostalgic, and attention-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a compact footprint, using blunt slab serifs and sturdy proportions to create a bold, dependable typographic presence. It prioritizes immediate legibility and a strong graphic stamp over subtlety or airy text color.
The figures and capitals appear especially robust, giving headlines a strong horizontal base and a consistent, stamped look. In longer lines the dense texture can feel heavy, so it reads best when given breathing room through size, tracking, or generous line spacing.
