A heavy, block-driven slab serif with broad, square-cut serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves are wide and rounded but contained within a compact, sturdy silhouette, while joins and corners stay crisp and orthogonal. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and the type maintains a steady, confident rhythm with minimal modulation and strong vertical presence. Numerals and capitals read especially solid, with a consistent, machined feel across the set.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand wordmarks. It also works well for short callouts, editorial openers, and signage where a robust, grounded slab serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning toward industrial and collegiate sign-painting traditions. It communicates strength and practicality, with a slightly retro, print-forward character that feels at home on posters and headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and legibility through simple, squared slabs and restrained detailing, creating a dependable display face that prints strongly and holds its shape at large sizes.
The slab serifs are prominent and squarish, giving the face strong footing on the baseline and a pronounced horizontal emphasis in E/F/T and similar structures. Round letters keep a generous, sturdy bowl that avoids delicate details, supporting clear recognition at display sizes.
