A heavy, block-forward slab serif with squarish counters, flat terminals, and broad, rectangular serifs that read as sturdy bars. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving the forms a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase is robust and compact, with rounded bowls that stay close to the baseline and x-height, while ascenders and descenders remain relatively short. Details like the ball terminal on the j and the strong slab feet on letters like n, m, and u reinforce a structured, workmanlike rhythm; numerals are similarly stout with clear, simple silhouettes.
This font is best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where thick strokes and prominent slabs can carry from a distance. It also fits sports and campus-style branding, badges, and labels that benefit from a sturdy, traditional display voice.
The overall tone is bold and dependable, with a classic American display flavor that can feel collegiate and slightly nostalgic. Its weight and squared construction convey authority and straightforwardness, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a high-impact slab serif for display settings, emphasizing solidity and readability through thick strokes, flat-ended construction, and simplified letterforms that maintain clear silhouettes in large typography.
At text sizes the heavy slabs and tight interior spaces create a dark, compact color, while at larger sizes the crisp right angles and broad serifs become a defining graphic feature. The design favors strong silhouettes and stable alignment over delicate internal detail.
