A heavy, blocky slab serif with broad proportions and assertive, rectangular serifs that read as slightly bracketed rather than sharply abrupt. Strokes are largely uniform, with just enough shaping in joins and curves to keep counters open and letterforms stable at large sizes. Terminals tend to be squared and sturdy, and rounded glyphs (like O/C/G) keep a strong, geometric backbone with subtly softened corners. Lowercase forms are robust and compact, with single-story a and g, a round i/j dot, and a generally even, tightly packed texture.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks of text where impact and clarity are needed, such as posters, brand marks, packaging, and apparel graphics. It can also work for editorial display and sports/collegiate identity systems where a sturdy slab serif texture is desirable.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, with a poster-friendly, old-school presence that recalls collegiate lettering and Western-influenced display slabs. Its weight and broad footprint make it feel emphatic and no-nonsense, projecting authority and straightforwardness rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that maximizes presence through broad, sturdy proportions and strong serifs, while retaining enough internal openness to stay legible in large-format text. It prioritizes a consistent, forceful rhythm that holds up well in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
The numerals are wide and block-shaped, matching the uppercase in mass and stance, which helps maintain a consistent rhythm in mixed text. The face keeps strong horizontal emphasis from its slabs and flat terminals, producing a dark, high-impact color across lines of text.
