A heavy, square-shouldered slab serif with broad, flat terminals and strongly bracketless joins. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many curves are squared off into rounded-rectangle forms (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), giving a machined, block-like geometry. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, producing dense word shapes with a firm baseline. Lowercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, with short, robust serifs and a compact, workmanlike rhythm; figures are similarly wide and rectangular, matching the alphabet’s solid footprint.
This face suits headlines, posters, and large typographic statements where a dense, sturdy slab serif can carry impact. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefit from an industrial or retro voice, and for sports or collegiate-style branding where strong, squared letterforms read as bold and authoritative.
The overall tone is forceful and dependable, with a utilitarian, industrial flavor and a clear vintage headline sensibility. Its squared curves and slab terminals evoke signage, uniforms, and print-era practicality, projecting confidence more than refinement.
The type appears designed to deliver high-impact readability with a squared, engineered character, balancing slab-serif solidity with softened corners for clarity. Its consistent weight and compact counters suggest an emphasis on strong typographic color and durable, sign-like presence.
The design emphasizes rectangular structure throughout, creating consistent dark color in text and strong presence in display settings. Rounded corners soften the otherwise hard geometry, helping maintain legibility while preserving a distinctly blocky silhouette.
