A heavy, slab-serif design with broad stems, squared-off terminals, and compact, rectangular counters that keep the texture dense. Serifs are prominent and mostly flat with subtle bracketing, giving joins a slightly softened transition rather than a sharp mechanical cutoff. Curves are round but firmly controlled, and the overall rhythm is steady and emphatic, with wide internal shapes in letters like C and S balanced against strong verticals in E, H, and N. The lowercase is sturdy and readable, with single-storey a and g and a consistent, punchy presence in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that need immediate impact and sturdy legibility. It also works well for packaging and editorial display typography where a bold, classic slab presence can anchor a layout.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense voice with a distinctly vintage, print-forward character. It feels assertive and workmanlike, evoking traditional editorial or poster typography with a hint of collegiate and Western-influenced signage energy.
Likely designed to deliver maximum weight and clarity with a traditional slab-serif structure, emphasizing strong silhouettes and a dependable, print-centric tone for display use.
The strong slab serifs and tight counters create high visual density, especially in all-caps settings. Numerals share the same blocky construction, reinforcing a cohesive, headline-ready system.
