A heavy, compact serif with squared proportions and softened corners, built from broad strokes that stay largely uniform. The serifs are small and wedge-like, reading more as incised flares than delicate brackets, which gives the outlines a cut, chiseled feel. Counters are tight and rounded-rectangular, and the joins and terminals tend toward blunt, squared finishes. Overall spacing and rhythm are dense and sturdy, with a slightly mechanical consistency across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of copy where impact and clarity matter more than delicate detail. It works well for sports and team branding, bold packaging, labels, and signage where a rugged, retro-leaning serif can add authority and presence.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a vintage athletic and workmanlike character. It suggests signage and institutional lettering—confident, loud, and straightforward rather than refined or bookish.
The design appears intended to merge serif cues with a sturdy, almost engraved construction—delivering a classic, institutional feel while maintaining the solidity and punch of a block display face.
Uppercase forms are especially squared and monolithic, while lowercase keeps the same blocky construction for a cohesive text color. Numerals follow the same compact, display-oriented build, with strong silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes.
