A heavy, sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into terminals. Strokes are largely even in weight, with broad, rounded bowls and softened joins that keep the texture dense but not brittle. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall silhouette reads compact and blocky with steady vertical stress. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the strong, headline-oriented rhythm of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short emphatic copy where its weight and serif structure can do the work—posters, sports or collegiate identities, packaging, and bold editorial titling. It can set large blocks of text for a deliberate, dark page color, but it performs most comfortably when given breathing room and scale.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a collegiate and editorial feel that suggests authority and familiarity. Its softened curves and generous terminals add warmth, while the weight and strong serifs communicate impact and solidity.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence with a traditional serif voice—combining robust, readable shapes with flared, bracketed terminals for a distinctly classic yet punchy display character.
Capitals have a wide-shouldered, poster-like presence, while lowercase forms stay straightforward and sturdy, keeping paragraphs dark and cohesive. The flared ends and deep brackets give it a slightly engraved, vintage flavor without becoming delicate.
