A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are mostly straight and orthogonal with gently rounded joins, and the slabs read as thick, squared terminals with subtle bracketing. The design keeps a consistent, forceful color in text, with tight apertures and sturdy bowls that stay legible through bold massing; lowercase forms are large relative to caps, reinforcing a dense, headline-first rhythm.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of copy where maximum impact is needed—posters, signage, packaging, and bold editorial titling. It also fits sports and collegiate-style branding systems, where its sturdy slabs and dense texture hold up well at large sizes and in high-contrast applications.
The overall tone is emphatic and workmanlike, with a distinctly retro, poster-and-signage feel. Its chunky slabs and compact counters project confidence and toughness, landing between collegiate display energy and utilitarian industrial branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, high-visibility slab serif for display use, emphasizing strong silhouettes, consistent heavy color, and a compact, readable texture. It aims for a classic, robust look that remains clear under bold weight and tight spacing.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q are built from wide, weighty curves that still feel geometric, while diagonals in V, W, X, and Y remain thick and stable rather than sharp. Numerals share the same blocky construction, keeping strong presence and even texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
