A heavy, blocky slab serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed rectangular serifs. Stems are thick and steady, counters are relatively compact, and curves are full and rounded with a tight, muscular rhythm. Terminals and joins read as solid and engineered, with a consistent, poster-ready texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and bold branding where a sturdy slab-serif presence is needed. It works well for sports- and campus-inspired identities, product packaging, badges, and signage that benefit from a strong, compact typographic color.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a distinctly classic American display feel reminiscent of collegiate, athletic, and vintage advertising lettering. Its mass and squared detailing project authority and durability, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a durable slab-serif structure and a clear, vintage-leaning display character. It prioritizes bold silhouette, confident rhythm, and robust detailing for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms are especially commanding, with slab serifs that hold their shape at large sizes. The lowercase maintains the same chunky voice, creating dense word shapes that favor impact over delicacy; spacing appears comfortable for display use where a strong silhouette is desired.
