A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, strong rectangular stems, and prominent, square-ended serifs that read as firmly bracketed rather than hairline-sharp. The weight is distributed with noticeable stroke modulation, but the overall impression remains solid and dark, with large counters and generous interior space helping legibility at display sizes. Terminals are blunt and confident, and curves (notably in O, C, G, and the lowercase bowls) stay rounded but are anchored by thick joins and flat serif structures, producing a stable, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited to big, impactful settings such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold editorial deck typography. It can also work well on packaging and labels where a sturdy, heritage-leaning slab voice is needed and the type will be set at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking vintage editorial headlines, athletic/collegiate signage, and utilitarian print aesthetics. Its mass and slab structure give it an authoritative, dependable voice that feels simultaneously classic and workmanlike.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and clarity through wide, weighty letterforms and emphatic slab serifs, balancing a traditional serif foundation with an attention-grabbing display posture.
Uppercase forms feel particularly commanding due to broad widths and deep, dark horizontals, while the lowercase maintains a similarly robust color with compact details and heavy shoulders. Numerals match the same blocky construction, supporting cohesive headline and labeling systems.
