A heavy, block-structured slab serif with square-ended terminals and compact interior spaces. Strokes are consistently thick, with crisp right-angled joins and minimal curvature, giving the letterforms a carved, poster-ready silhouette. Uppercase shapes read broad and stable, while the lowercase keeps short ascenders/descenders and dense counters that maintain an even, dark texture across lines. Numerals follow the same squared, punchy construction for a unified, signlike rhythm.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its dense weight and square slabs can project impact—headlines, posters, signage, and bold labeling. It also fits sports and collegiate-style branding, badges, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial and collegiate flavor that feels both retro and utilitarian. Its strong slabs and tight apertures communicate authority and durability, leaning toward headlines and display moments rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a simplified slab-serif construction: flat terminals, firm geometry, and a consistent stroke weight that reads clearly at distance. It prioritizes punchy legibility and a classic, workmanlike character for display use.
In text settings the face produces a very dark color and strong vertical emphasis, with small internal openings in letters like a/e/s that can fill in at smaller sizes. The squared serifs and flat terminals create a uniform, stamped look that holds up well in high-contrast applications.
