A sturdy slab-serif with large, block-like terminals and clearly bracketed joins. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thick verticals and slimmer horizontals, producing a strong vertical rhythm. Counters are compact and squarish, curves are firm rather than calligraphic, and the overall texture reads dense and emphatic. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, while the lowercase uses robust stems and short, squared finishing strokes that keep lines of text tight and punchy. Numerals are heavy and rectilinear, with simple, high-contrast shaping suited to display settings.
Best suited for headlines, short blurbs, and large typographic statements where its heavy slabs and compact counters can carry impact. It works well for posters, product labels, signage, and branding systems that want a rugged, retro-industrial feel, and for sports or collegiate-style applications that benefit from a strong, authoritative letterform.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense voice with a vintage, workwear character. Its heavy slabs and compressed counters evoke poster lettering, sports and collegiate signage, and classic wood-type energy, giving it a confident, declarative tone.
Likely designed to deliver bold, high-impact display typography that echoes traditional slab-serif and poster/wood-type conventions while maintaining clear letter identities. The emphasis appears to be on strong rhythm, sturdy serifs, and a compact, attention-grabbing texture for branding and titling.
The silhouette stays consistent across the set, relying on strong horizontals and pronounced foot and head serifs to lock letters onto the baseline and cap line. In text, the dense color and tight internal space create an assertive, headline-forward presence rather than a delicate reading texture.
