A heavy slab-serif with broad, blocky letterforms and firmly planted, rectangular serifs. Strokes are dense with subtly rounded corners and slight bracketing where stems meet the slabs, giving a sturdy, machined feel rather than a sharp, chiseled one. Counters are relatively tight and the joins tend to be deep, producing a compact rhythm in words; curved letters like C, G, O, and S carry noticeable weight through the bowls. Numerals are similarly stout and high-impact, with simple, geometric construction and strong horizontal terminals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where maximum impact is desired—posters, mastheads, labels, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for branding that needs a tough, heritage-leaning tone, though long paragraphs may feel heavy due to the tight counters and dense texture.
The font projects confidence and physicality, with a poster-ready voice that reads as assertive and workmanlike. Its slab structure and compact spacing evoke vintage advertising, sports or collegiate energy, and utilitarian signage, while the rounded shaping keeps it from feeling overly severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-contrast, high-impact slab-serif voice that holds up in large, attention-driven contexts. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, stable horizontals, and compact word shapes to create a commanding, vintage-tinged display presence.
In the text sample, the dense color and tight internal spaces make the type most effective at display sizes, where the strong silhouettes and slabs remain clear. The overall rhythm is consistent across upper and lower case, with lowercase forms staying sturdy and upright rather than calligraphic.
