A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad, squared terminals and pronounced slab feet that create a strong horizontal emphasis. The letterforms are compact and tightly proportioned, with sturdy vertical stems, rounded outer curves, and moderately deep counters that stay open even at this weight. Serifs read as mostly squared with subtle bracketing and small corner cut-ins in several glyphs, giving edges a slightly carved, workmanlike finish. Numerals match the caps in mass and stance, with simple, robust shapes designed for high impact.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where weight and presence are an advantage, such as posters, signage, sports branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for large-size editorial display where a sturdy, vintage slab voice is desired, but will feel dense for long reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold, confident, and slightly nostalgic, recalling vintage signage and team/varsity lettering. Its dense color and squared serifs communicate strength and reliability, with a hint of frontier or poster-era character in the silhouette.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab: compact, sturdy forms with confident serifs that hold together in loud, attention-grabbing settings. Its details suggest a goal of combining legibility with a distinctive, heritage-leaning poster and signage feel.
In text, the rhythm is driven by strong verticals and wide slabs, producing an assertive, poster-like texture. The uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, squared construction, and the small corner detailing adds personality without turning decorative.
