A heavy slab serif with a broad, blocky build and crisp, square-ended serifs. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, even texture. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and curves are simplified into sturdy, geometric forms; round letters like O and C read as firm, controlled ovals. The lowercase follows the same robust logic with short extenders and strong, flat terminals, and the numerals match the set with wide bodies and stable, squared-off details.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-to-medium display text where weight and structure are an asset. It can also serve branding, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-inflected slab serif presence.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a nostalgic, display-forward presence. Its chunky slabs and simplified geometry evoke vintage signage and collegiate lettering, giving text a dependable, slightly playful authority.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a classic slab-serif attitude—prioritizing strong silhouettes, square terminals, and consistent stroke weight for dependable display performance.
Spacing and proportions create a strong horizontal rhythm, and the squared serifs add a consistent baseline and cap-line anchoring that keeps lines of text looking planted. The design favors impact and clarity over delicacy, maintaining legibility while projecting a distinctly bold editorial voice.
