A heavy slab serif with compact proportions and strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, producing a dense, poster-ready color, while counters are relatively tight and sturdy. The letterforms lean on geometric, block-like construction with rounded joins and softened interior corners that keep the shapes from feeling brittle. Terminals are flat and decisive, and the overall rhythm is steady and emphatic across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display applications where impact and durability matter—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold packaging fronts. It can also work for sports or team-style branding and large-format informational text where a strong slab presence improves visibility.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a workwear and heritage-print character. It reads as assertive and dependable, evoking traditional signage, campus athletics, and industrial labeling rather than delicate editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and legibility through thick, stable strokes and robust slab serifs, offering a traditional, print-forward feel that holds up well at large sizes. Its consistent weight and squared terminals suggest a focus on straightforward, high-impact typography for attention-grabbing titles and labels.
The caps present broad, stable silhouettes suited to short headlines, while the lowercase maintains clear, straightforward forms that emphasize solidity over nuance. Numerals match the same weight and squareness, supporting strong, uniform emphasis in mixed alphanumeric settings.
