A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and firmly planted rectangular serifs. Strokes are thick and confident with subtle, noticeable contrast and smoothly rounded joins that keep the forms from feeling brittle. Counters are relatively tight, and many letters show small notches and cut-ins at joins and terminals that read like functional ink-trap details, reinforcing a rugged, print-minded texture. Overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with strong horizontals and stable, upright construction.
Best suited to display typography where maximum impact and clarity at large sizes are needed—headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand statements. The sturdy slab structure also fits well for sports/collegiate identities and packaging where a strong, dependable tone is desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a vintage, poster-forward presence that can also feel sporty and collegiate. Its chunky slabs and tight interior spaces create an emphatic, attention-grabbing voice that leans friendly rather than severe, especially in the lowercase where the shapes feel slightly softer.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a rugged slab-serif personality, combining broad, blocky shapes with small cut-in details that add texture and help maintain clarity in dense, heavy forms. It prioritizes a commanding presence while keeping a slightly approachable, retro-leaning feel.
Uppercase characters appear particularly monumental and headline-driven, while the lowercase maintains the same weight and slab logic for a cohesive texture in longer lines. Numerals are equally hefty and designed to hold their own at display sizes, contributing to a consistent, impact-oriented color across mixed text.
