A heavy slab-serif with square, flat-ended serifs and generally uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are upright and compact, with sturdy verticals and broad, blocky proportions that create a strong, even texture in paragraphs. Curves are firm and somewhat squared-off at joins, and terminals tend to finish with crisp, rectangular cuts. Numerals match the robust, signlike construction, with large forms and confident, simplified curves.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems where a forceful slab-serif voice is needed. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section openers, especially when you want a classic, authoritative feel and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is sturdy and traditional, with a poster-ready presence that recalls editorial headlines and collegiate or athletic branding. Its dense, no-nonsense shapes read as assertive and dependable, leaning more classic than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, highly legible slab-serif with square serifs and a compact, impactful rhythm—optimized for attention-grabbing display typography while maintaining a traditional editorial character.
In the text sample, the bold slabs and compact counters create a dark color that holds together well at large sizes, while the square serifs and firm joins emphasize a strong horizontal rhythm. The design favors impact and clarity over delicacy, making it feel especially at home in display settings.
