A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and a robust, poster-ready color. Strokes are thick with noticeable (but not extreme) contrast, and the serifs read as wide slabs with subtle bracketing that softens transitions into the stems. Curves are full and slightly squared-off in places, giving letters like C, G, S, and O a substantial, carved look; counters are relatively tight, especially in B, P, R, and a. The lowercase is large and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and short, strong terminals that keep the texture dense in setting. Figures are bold and rounded with stable footing, matching the heavyweight rhythm of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, signage, and bold editorial titling where a strong slab-serif presence is desired. It also fits brand marks, labels, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice, and can work well for sports or collegiate-style graphics when a heavier serif alternative to sans is needed.
The font projects a sturdy, no-nonsense tone that feels traditional and workmanlike, with a hint of classic print and team-lettering energy. Its bold slabs and compact counters lend it a confident, authoritative voice that reads as dependable and slightly retro.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif structure—combining wide slabs, compact counters, and sturdy proportions to stay legible and forceful in display typography. The forms aim for a dependable, familiar feel rather than a delicate or highly stylized one.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep forms from clogging despite the dense interior shapes, and the overall rhythm stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The design favors strong silhouettes over delicate detail, which helps it hold together at display sizes and in short text blocks.
