A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with sturdy, bracketed slabs and compact interior counters. Strokes show noticeable (but not extreme) contrast, with thick verticals and slightly lighter joins that keep the forms from feeling monolithic. Terminals are squared and confident, and many joins show subtle notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that add crispness at large sizes. The lowercase is chunky with a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a deep, angular t crossbar; figures are bold and geometric with strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its heavy slabs and tight counters can deliver impact—posters, editorial display, cover lines, signage, and bold packaging labels. It can also support collegiate or sports-style wordmarks where a sturdy, authoritative slab serif is desired.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, mixing a classic print/woodtype flavor with an industrial, modern sturdiness. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, with a slightly retro, collegiate flavor that feels at home on packaging and headlines.
The design appears intended to provide maximum punch and clarity in large sizes by pairing strong slab serifs with controlled contrast and crisp joins. Its forms balance vintage-inspired sturdiness with clean, contemporary shaping to stay readable and energetic in dense display copy.
Spacing appears generous for a display slab, helping the dense shapes stay legible in all-caps and mixed-case settings. The ampersand is compact and weighty, matching the font’s blocky rhythm and reinforcing its poster-like voice.
