A heavy, compact serif with strongly rounded outer corners and short, bracketed serifs that read more as sculpted terminals than sharp wedges. Strokes are broadly even, with subtle modulation and occasional narrow joins that create an ink-trap-like impression in tight corners. Counters are relatively small and squarish, and many curves are flattened into vertical-sided bowls, producing a chunky, rectangular rhythm. The overall silhouette feels engineered and stable, with slightly condensed proportions and sturdy verticals that hold a consistent texture across lines.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a dense, impactful texture is desired—posters, signage, labels, and branding that needs a sturdy, retro-leaning voice. It can work for brief editorial callouts or subheads, but the heavy weight and tight interior spaces make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font projects a confident, workmanlike tone with a distinctly vintage flavor. Its bold, squared forms suggest signage, sports/collegiate lettering, or industrial branding—serious and assertive rather than delicate. The softened corners keep it approachable while preserving a strong, commanding presence.
Likely designed as a high-impact serif for display use, balancing traditional serif cues with modern, squared geometry. The rounded corners and compact proportions appear intended to keep the forms robust and legible in bold applications while delivering a classic, vintage-tinged personality.
Spacing appears tight-to-moderate in display settings, with the dense counters and weight giving text a dark, poster-like color. Numerals are similarly blocky and monolinear in feel, matching the uppercase’s compact, squared character and reinforcing a utilitarian, uniform set.
