A heavy, block-forward slab serif with chunky, squared terminals and softly rounded internal curves. The design shows clear slabbed feet and head serifs with modest bracketing, pairing rectangular structure with bulbous bowls and counters. Curves are generously inflated (notably in O, C, and S), while horizontals and verticals read firm and steady, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, with wide, graphic forms and simple, emphatic shaping.
Best suited to display typography where mass and presence are assets: headlines, posters, labels, and bold packaging systems. It also fits signage and sports or team-style branding where a sturdy slab serif can communicate strength and reliability.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, blending a vintage poster sensibility with an industrial, workwear toughness. It feels confident and slightly nostalgic, with a sporty, collegiate edge suited to big statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif voice—combining sturdy rectangular serifs with rounded bowls to stay friendly while remaining forceful. Its emphasis is on attention-grabbing clarity and a cohesive, heavyweight texture for prominent titles and branding.
Tight apertures and stout serifs create strong silhouette recognition at display sizes, but the dense counters and heavy joins can make long passages feel dark and compact. The lowercase maintains the same sturdy rhythm as the uppercase, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
