A heavy, block-structured slab serif with square-cut terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The forms are built from broad verticals and horizontal slabs with crisp, flat ends, producing a compact, sturdy texture. Curves are restrained and slightly squared, and counters tend toward rounded-rectangular shapes that keep the rhythm firm and even. The lowercase follows the same no-nonsense construction, with short, sturdy serifs and a solid, workmanlike stance; numerals match the weight and squareness for consistent color.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity are priorities—headlines, posters, labels, and storefront-style signage. It also works well for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif presence, and for short subheads or callouts where a compact, emphatic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is tough and grounded, with an industrial straightforwardness that reads as confident and utilitarian. Its bold slabs and squared details suggest a classic, American-signage and collegiate poster sensibility, delivering a dependable, no-frills voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum solidity and legibility through squared terminals, robust slabs, and restrained curvature. Its consistent, blocky construction points to an intention of evoking traditional display typography—practical, assertive, and built to hold up at larger sizes.
The design maintains a strong horizontal emphasis through prominent slab feet and caps, which helps headings feel anchored. The dense letterforms and tight internal shapes create a dark, authoritative typographic color, especially in longer lines of text.
