A heavy, block-forward slab serif with large x-height and tight internal spaces that create strong texture in paragraphs. Strokes are low-contrast with squared, sturdy serifs that read as mostly unbracketed but subtly eased where strokes meet, keeping joins from feeling brittle. Counters are compact (notably in e, a, s, and 8), and the overall rhythm is solid and slightly condensed in feel despite broad capitals. Terminals tend toward flat cuts and right-angled shoulders, with occasional small notches/ink-trap-like shaping at joins that improves clarity at bold sizes.
Best suited to headlines, poster work, and brand marks where a strong slab-serif presence is desired. It also holds up well in short editorial bursts—subheads, pull quotes, and callouts—where its dense color and sturdy detailing remain legible and expressive.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking classic print and display typography with a retro, collegiate edge. Its weight and sturdy slabs project reliability and emphasis, making text feel authoritative and headline-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif framework, balancing blocky sturdiness with small join refinements to keep heavy shapes readable. It aims to provide a confident, vintage-leaning voice that works equally well for signage-style emphasis and bold typographic hierarchy.
Capitals are broad and highly stable, while lowercase forms keep a compact, editorial texture; the rounded letters (o, c, e) stay fairly squared in their curvature for a purposeful, engineered look. Numerals match the heft and are designed for impact rather than delicate differentiation, with the 0 and 8 especially dense and attention-grabbing.
