A heavy, slab-serif display face with large, squared-off terminals and pronounced, blocky serifs that read as slightly bracketed in places. Stems are thick and confident, with visible but not delicate contrast, and apertures tend to be tight, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready color. Curves are broad and rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), while many joins and terminals resolve into flat, horizontal cuts that emphasize a sturdy, carved-from-solid look. Lowercase forms are robust and simplified with short extenders, and numerals are similarly weighty with wide footprints and strong baseline presence.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and branding where strong impact is needed. It works well for sports- and campus-adjacent identities, bold packaging, and title treatments that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is loud, tough, and utilitarian—evoking athletic lettering, vintage posters, and workwear branding. It feels confident and attention-grabbing rather than refined, with a no-nonsense rhythm that suits punchy statements and bold headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif backbone, balancing rounded letterforms with emphatic, squared terminals to produce a rugged, high-ink display texture.
The design’s dense counters and thick slabs make it most effective at larger sizes, where the internal shapes and serif structure remain clear. The mix of rounded bowls and squared terminals creates a distinctive tension between friendly curves and hard-edged finishing.
