A dense, heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and a forceful, poster-like color. The serifs read as thick, squared slabs with subtle bracketing and occasional notched or chamfered joins that give corners a slightly carved look. Stems are robust and fairly uniform, while bowls and counters stay compact, producing a tight, weighty rhythm. Curves are rounded but controlled, and diagonals remain stout, keeping the overall texture consistent and emphatic across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where its slabs and carved corner details can read clearly—headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, and bold editorial display. It can also work well on packaging and labels where a stout, heritage voice is desired, especially in short phrases rather than long-form text.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a vintage, workmanlike character that feels at home in classic Americana and sports-inspired settings. Its chunky detailing and sturdy stance convey confidence and impact, leaning more rugged than refined while still maintaining a deliberate, designed polish.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif voice, combining broad, blocky proportions with subtle corner shaping to avoid a purely geometric feel. It prioritizes presence and legibility at display sizes, projecting a confident, traditional-meets-athletic personality.
The lowercase shows a sturdy, upright construction with short ascenders/descenders relative to the heavy stems, helping lines set densely without looking fragile. Numerals are similarly weighty and wide, with strong silhouettes suited to scoreboard-style emphasis and headline treatments.
