A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, generous counters, and a strong, squared-off presence. Serifs are chunky and mostly bracketed into the stems, with a consistent, low-contrast stroke feel that keeps the texture even across lines. Curves (C, O, S, a, e) are full and rounded while terminals and joins stay blunt, producing a compact, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase is sturdy and straightforward with a single-storey a and g, and the numerals match the same bold, blocky rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where impact and presence matter: headlines, posters, and large-format signage. It also fits branding that wants a sturdy, heritage-leaning impression, such as packaging, badges, and sports or team-style graphics.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a distinctly retro, American poster and signage flavor. Its thick slabs and wide stance give it a dependable, no-nonsense voice that reads as bold, traditional, and slightly collegiate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and legibility at large sizes while borrowing cues from classic slab-serif display typography. Its broad shapes and blunt detailing suggest a focus on strong silhouettes and a confident, traditional voice.
In text, the font maintains a dense, uniform color with clear word shapes and minimal sparkle, emphasizing mass over delicacy. The slab serifs add a horizontal beat that reinforces a stable baseline and gives headlines a stacked, emphatic feel.
