A heavy, display-oriented serif with sturdy verticals and distinctly flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. The letterforms are broad and well packed, with rounded bowls and relatively tight apertures that create dense, high-impact silhouettes. Curves transition into stems with noticeable shaping, giving many joins a subtly pinched, ink-trap-like feel. Uppercase forms read blocky and stable, while lowercase maintains strong presence with large internal counters and a consistent, energetic rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short blocks of text where its weight and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for branding and packaging that needs a traditional, authoritative voice, and it can also support collegiate or sports-themed graphics where bold, sturdy letterforms are desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and classic, with a newspaper-headline weight and a collegiate poster sensibility. Its flared details add a crafted, old-style gravitas while the mass and width keep it bold and attention-grabbing. The impression is authoritative rather than delicate, suited to messaging that should feel established and confident.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact while retaining a serifed, heritage feel. By pairing broad proportions with flared, bracketed endings and sturdy curves, it prioritizes strong silhouettes and a recognizable editorial/collegiate character for display use.
The numerals are similarly weighty and open, designed to hold up at large sizes with clear, simple silhouettes. In the text sample, the font maintains a dense texture and strong word shapes, with terminals and joins providing much of the character rather than high contrast.
