A heavy, blocky slab serif with prominent, squared serifs and subtle bracketing that softens joins. Stems are thick and steady, with moderate stroke modulation and frequent interior notches/cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like texture in tight corners. Counters are relatively compact, terminals are blunt, and curves are broad and sturdy, producing a dense, high-impact color on the page. The lowercase is sturdy and straightforward, with a single-storey “a” and generous, rounded bowls that balance the rectilinear slab structure.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts where a strong slab serif identity is desired. It can also work effectively in branding and packaging that aim for a vintage, industrial, or collegiate feel, and for sports or event graphics needing immediate visual punch.
The overall tone feels assertive and retro, echoing collegiate and poster lettering where weight and presence matter more than delicacy. Its chunky details and confident slabs give it a friendly toughness—approachable, but unmistakably attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif foundation, adding distinctive interior cut-ins to improve clarity and inject personality at large sizes. Its proportions and sturdy curves suggest an emphasis on confident display typography over extended reading.
The design’s recurring corner cut-ins and strong slab rhythm help keep large sizes from feeling too monolithic while adding distinctive texture. Spacing appears built for display use, with letters reading best when given room to breathe in headlines and short blocks.
