A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes show noticeable contrast: vertical stems read denser while horizontals and serifs step down slightly in weight, creating a punchy rhythm without feeling delicate. Serifs are square and robust, often subtly bracketed into the stems, with squared terminals throughout. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with short extenders, and round letters (o, e, c) are more rectangular than geometric, reinforcing a utilitarian, poster-like texture. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with ample weight and simplified, high-contrast shapes for headline clarity.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and logo wordmarks where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It also works well for packaging and label-style branding that benefits from a bold, heritage-leaning slab serif voice, and for collegiate or team-inspired graphics that need sturdy letterforms.
The tone is forceful and self-assured, with a vintage print sensibility that evokes classic posters, athletic/collegiate graphics, and workwear branding. Its bold slabs and squared terminals give it an industrial straightforwardness, while the slight contrast adds a refined, editorial edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, print-rooted slab serif structure—combining chunky serifs, slightly contrasted strokes, and wide proportions to stay readable and authoritative in prominent applications.
The design’s tight counters and strong serif blocks create a dense, dark typographic color in paragraphs, making it especially commanding at display sizes. Curves are intentionally firm and somewhat boxy, which keeps the overall texture consistent and emphatic across caps, lowercase, and figures.
