A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, blocky silhouette. Serifs are thick and strongly bracketed, with rounded internal joins that give many corners a slightly softened, ink-trap-like feel. Counters are relatively small and oval-to-rectangular, and the overall rhythm is driven by wide bowls and emphatic horizontal slabs. Numerals and lowercase show the same robust construction, with ball-like terminals appearing in a few forms (notably on descenders), reinforcing a crafted, vintage texture.
Best suited for big, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, title cards, and branding where weight and presence are desired. It can work well for sports-leaning identities, bold packaging, and signage that benefits from sturdy slab serif structure and strong readability at larger sizes.
The tone reads bold and assertive, with a nostalgic, poster-like presence. Its chunky slabs and rounded joins evoke heritage signage and classic print work, leaning into a confident, no-nonsense character that feels both friendly and tough.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a vintage-inflected slab serif voice—combining wide, powerful shapes with softened joins for a more approachable, crafted feel. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and an even, forceful texture for display settings.
At text sizes it appears dense and highly attention-grabbing, with tight interior space and strong dark color. The most distinctive signature is the combination of thick bracketed slabs and subtly rounded junctions, which reduces sharpness and adds warmth without losing impact.
