A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions, strong vertical stress, and crisp, high-contrast joins between thick main strokes and thinner inner curves. Serifs are prominent and largely rectangular with subtle bracketing that softens transitions, giving the letters a carved, poster-like solidity. Counters are relatively tight in the densest forms, and curves (C, G, O, S) show controlled, slightly flattened terminals that keep the texture even at display sizes. The overall rhythm is bold and steady, with clear differentiation across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, and impactful branding where strong letterforms and slab serifs enhance presence. It also fits packaging and signage that benefit from a traditional, sturdy voice, and works well for short editorial callouts, section headers, and bold typographic statements.
The font projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with a classic print and signage flavor. Its weight and slab structure evoke traditional advertising, collegiate or sports-inspired titling, and editorial headlines that need impact without feeling experimental.
Designed to deliver maximum visual authority with a familiar slab-serif structure, balancing traditional cues with clean, consistent letter construction. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouette recognition and dependable headline performance rather than delicate text refinement.
At paragraph-like settings in the sample, the dense color and tight counters create a dark, emphatic texture, favoring short bursts of text over long reading. Numerals and capitals feel especially strong for labels and titles, while the lowercase retains a straightforward, workmanlike character.
