A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, squared terminals, and thick, block-like serifs that read as strongly bracketed in several capitals. Strokes are largely even and robust, with only modest thick–thin modulation, giving the letterforms a dense, compact color. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be restrained, while joins and corners stay crisp and mechanical. The rhythm is steady and architectural, with strong horizontals and a consistent, weighty baseline presence across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where strong presence is needed—posters, sports and collegiate branding, labels/packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can work for brief editorial callouts, though its dense color and tight counters make it more comfortable in larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels bold and no-nonsense, with a rugged, workmanlike voice that recalls varsity, signage, and old-school print. Its mass and square-shouldered shapes convey authority and durability, leaning more practical than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, high-impact slab serif with a straightforward, traditional structure and a distinctly bold voice. It prioritizes strong silhouette, stable rhythm, and recognizable, sign-ready forms for branding and display typography.
The numerals and capitals are especially block-forward, producing a poster-like texture at larger sizes. In text, the heavy serifs and tight interiors create a dark, emphatic paragraph color that favors impact over airiness.
