A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, block-built silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with short bracketed slabs that read more like strong terminals than delicate serifs. Counters are generous and round (notably in O, Q, a, e), helping maintain clarity at large sizes despite the dense weight. Joins and curves are smoothly resolved, giving the face a slightly softened, editorial feel rather than a rigid stencil or geometric cut.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where impact is the priority. It also fits sports or collegiate branding, bold packaging statements, and signage that benefits from a confident, high-ink presence. In longer passages it will be most effective at larger sizes with comfortable spacing to avoid a dense texture.
The font conveys solidity and authority with a warm, approachable edge. Its bold slabs and wide stance evoke classic American display typography—suggesting tradition, team spirit, and headline punch—while the rounded internal spaces keep it from feeling harsh.
This design appears intended as a high-impact slab serif for display settings, combining traditional slab cues with broad proportions and open counters to stay legible while looking powerful. The softened curves and bracketed slabs suggest an aim for approachability alongside strength.
Uppercase forms feel especially poster-ready, with stable horizontals and pronounced slab endings that create a strong baseline. Lowercase is robust and readable, with simple, sturdy shapes and minimal ornamentation; the overall rhythm is even and emphatic, favoring impact over delicacy.
