A hefty slab serif with compact, block-like letterforms and broad, rectangular serifs. Strokes are strongly weighted with subtle, visible modulation, and joins are firm with mostly squared terminals. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, giving the face a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette that stays crisp at display sizes. Uppercase forms read monumental and stable, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, sturdy rhythm with sturdy stems and pronounced slab feet.
This font is best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, logos, and brand marks where a solid, authoritative voice is needed. It also fits sports identity systems, labels, and packaging that benefit from a bold, vintage-leaning slab serif with strong structure.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, evoking classic poster wood-type and athletic/collegiate signage. Its heavy presence feels direct and no-nonsense, with a slightly vintage flavor that emphasizes strength and clarity over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through broad slabs, compact proportions, and a dense typographic color, while retaining readable, familiar letter shapes. It prioritizes a sturdy, sign-painting/wood-type-inspired presence that remains clear and forceful in large text.
The numerals follow the same robust, poster-like construction, with wide, open shapes and strong bases that help them hold up in bold settings. Across the sample text, spacing appears intentionally tight and the strong serifs create a pronounced horizontal cadence.
