A heavy, block-built serif with chunky slab terminals and subtly rounded joins that keep the silhouette from feeling overly rigid. Strokes are dense and compact with modest internal contrast, while the serifs read as broad, squared-off feet that sometimes show small step-like notches. Counters are relatively tight and often approach circular or squared-oval shapes, producing a strong inked-in texture in text. The lowercase is sturdy and straightforward, with a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ and a generally compact rhythm that emphasizes mass and stability over delicacy.
Best suited to display settings where weight and solidity are desired—headlines, posters, labels, and bold editorial callouts. It also fits sports or collegiate-style branding, storefront or event signage, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, high-impact typographic voice.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a retro, workmanlike flavor that can feel collegiate or poster-driven. Its weight and blunt slab details give it an emphatic, no-nonsense voice that reads as familiar and slightly nostalgic rather than sleek or high-tech.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch and readability at larger sizes through broad slabs, compact counters, and a simplified, muscular construction. It prioritizes strong presence and a vintage-leaning, utilitarian character that holds up well in bold, high-contrast compositions.
In running text at large sizes, the font creates a dark, even color with pronounced vertical presence and strong word shapes. The slab terminals and tight counters make it especially impactful for short phrases, while longer passages feel intentionally dense and attention-grabbing.
