A heavy slab-serif with stout, bracketed serifs and a strongly built, rectangular skeleton. Strokes are broadly even but show enough modulation to keep the joins and curves from feeling purely geometric. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be small, giving the face a dense, dark texture in paragraphs. Curves are full and slightly squared at transitions, and several forms show subtle notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins where strokes meet, reinforcing a sturdy, print-oriented look.
Best suited to display typography where mass and presence are desired—headlines, posters, mastheads, and branding systems that need a confident, traditional voice. It can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes, but the dense color and tight counters suggest using generous spacing for extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a classic, poster-era confidence. It reads as traditional and slightly rugged, evoking headlines, sports heritage, and editorial authority rather than delicate or minimalist styling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure—sturdy serifs, compact interiors, and a dense typographic color that holds up in bold messaging. The subtle shaping at joins suggests an aim for practical readability and a print-forward personality rather than sleek neutrality.
The uppercase presents a strong, uniform rhythm with prominent slabs, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike feel with minimal finesse and a clear emphasis on weight and impact. Numerals match the heavy color and maintain clear silhouettes suited to display settings.
