A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and a compact, authoritative silhouette. Strokes are strongly weighted with modest contrast, and the slab serifs read as blunt and stable, often subtly bracketed into the stems. Curves are full and rounded (notably in O, C, and G), while terminals and joins remain crisp, giving the face a robust, print-forward texture. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g and a generally open, readable construction, with slightly uneven rhythm that adds a hint of vintage character rather than strict geometric regularity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts where strong slabs and broad letterforms can carry the page. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and collegiate or sports-flavored identity systems that benefit from a sturdy, traditional voice.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, leaning classic and workmanlike rather than sleek. It suggests heritage print, collegiate signaling, and old-school editorial emphasis—serious, a bit rugged, and attention-grabbing in display settings.
This design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a classic slab-serif feel, balancing generous curves with firm, rectangular serifs for a dependable, authoritative look in display typography.
Numerals are wide and sturdy, matching the blocky weight and slab presence of the letters; the 8 and 9 especially feel dense and poster-ready. Counters stay reasonably open for such a heavy design, helping maintain clarity in short lines and headlines.
