A heavy, block-structured slab serif with broad proportions and stout, rectangular serifs that read as subtly bracketed into the stems. Strokes are generally even, with only modest modulation, and counters are roomy enough to stay open at display sizes. The overall geometry favors squarish curves and strong horizontals, giving letters a planted, stable feel; terminals are blunt and decisively cut. Lowercase forms are sturdy and slightly compact, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a short-armed “r,” reinforcing the font’s poster-like solidity.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold UI hero moments. Its sturdy slabs and wide stance also make it a strong candidate for sports branding, team marks, and signage where letters need to hold their shape under distance viewing and reproduction constraints.
The tone is bold and dependable, with a collegiate/athletic echo and a utilitarian, workmanlike strength. It feels assertive and approachable rather than delicate, suggesting signage, uniforms, and heritage branding where impact and clarity are priorities.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif backbone—prioritizing punchy silhouettes, stable horizontals, and confident serifs for display typography and identity work.
The numerals are chunky and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ square-shouldered rhythm. Overall spacing appears generous for a slab at this weight, helping the dense strokes avoid clogging in tightly set headlines.
