A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and mostly straight-sided stems. Curves are generously rounded and smooth, while junctions show subtle bracketing that softens the otherwise blocky construction. Counters are fairly open for the weight, with a consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase; the lowercase forms read solid and straightforward, with a single-storey “g” and a compact, functional “a.” Numerals are robust and clear, with broad proportions and simplified, high-visibility shapes.
Best suited to display sizes where its chunky slabs and confident shapes can carry a message quickly—posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when a strong, classic typographic presence is desired.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, evoking classic print and signage with a hint of collegiate or workwear heritage. Its weight and squared serifs give it an assertive, dependable voice that feels at home in bold headlines and prominent typographic statements.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, durable slab-serif voice with clear letterforms and an emphasis on impact. Its mix of blocky serifs and softened curvature suggests an aim for versatility across modern branding and vintage-leaning editorial applications.
The design emphasizes horizontal stability through strong slabs and flat terminals, producing a steady baseline and a planted silhouette in text. Rounded bowls on letters like C, O, and S contrast pleasantly with the squared serifs, adding warmth without reducing impact.
