A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, large counters, and a steady, low-contrast stroke structure. Serifs are rectangular and assertive, often slightly bracketed, giving the outlines a sturdy, engineered feel. Curves are full and rounded but kept tight to a clear, squared-off skeleton, producing a strong rhythm and consistent texture in text. Uppercase forms read authoritative and stable, while the lowercase keeps a simple, workmanlike construction with generous bowls and straightforward joins.
Best suited to display settings where a strong, stable voice is needed—headlines, posters, labels, and identity work. It can also work for short blocks of text, pull quotes, and UI accents when a robust, traditional slab tone is desired, though its weight and width will dominate long-form reading.
The overall tone is bold and dependable, with a distinctly collegiate and old-school print character. Its chunky slabs and compact rhythm suggest utility and signage, while the rounded interior shapes keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears aimed at delivering high-impact legibility with a classic slab-serif attitude—combining sturdy, square-ended serifs with rounded, readable counters for a confident, print-forward presence.
At larger sizes the slab details and bracket transitions become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the weight and wide set help maintain presence. The numerals match the same sturdy, block-forward logic, supporting uniform emphasis across mixed text.
