A heavy, block-forward slab serif with squared-off terminals and broad proportions. Strokes are thick and even, with large, blunt serifs that read as rectangular brackets rather than sharp wedges. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, and many joins and curves have a slightly squared, machined feel that reinforces a constructed, poster-like rhythm. The overall texture is dense and stable, with crisp edges and strong horizontal emphasis.
Best suited for headlines, signage, posters, and identity work where strong presence and quick recognition are priorities. It also fits sports and collegiate-style graphics, product packaging, and editorial display settings that benefit from a sturdy, high-impact serif voice.
The font conveys confidence and solidity, with a straightforward, no-nonsense tone. Its bold slabs and blocky shaping suggest a utilitarian, industrial sensibility, while the wide stance also evokes vintage American display typography and collegiate/athletic lettering influences.
The design appears intended as a punchy display slab that prioritizes impact, stability, and legibility at larger sizes. Its square-ended terminals and broad, sturdy forms suggest a goal of delivering an authoritative, retro-leaning look that remains clear and consistent across letters and numerals.
In the sample text, the thick serifs and strong horizontals create a dark, continuous line of color that favors short headlines over long passages. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, squared character, keeping the voice consistent across mixed-case settings.
