A very heavy slab serif with broad, blocky proportions and strong vertical stress. Serifs are thick and largely square-ended with modest bracketing, giving strokes a carved, poster-ready solidity. Counters and apertures run on the tight side (notably in letters like C, S, and e), while joins and inner corners show subtle notching that adds texture at display sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders, and a firmly weighted, even rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display roles where weight and presence are an advantage—headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work for sports or collegiate identity systems and signage where a strong, traditional slab serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, evoking classic poster typography, varsity/collegiate signage, and old-style print headlines. Its dense color and squared-off serif attitude feel dependable and traditional, with a hint of nostalgic Americana.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a traditional slab-serif structure—prioritizing strong silhouettes, firm terminals, and a compact rhythm that holds together in large-scale typography.
The design favors impact over openness: closed counters and heavy terminals create a dark, unified typographic color. Numerals follow the same stout, slabbed logic and read best when given breathing room in layout.
