A dense, block-forward slab serif with square-cut terminals and broad, rectangular serifs that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate feet. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and generous interior counters carved out of solid black shapes. Corners are largely squared with slight rounding in some joins, producing a machined, stamped feel. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with a tall x-height and short extenders that keep lowercase forms close to the cap height for a strong, uniform texture.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where mass and presence are desirable, such as posters, event graphics, sports branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for labels and signage that benefit from a sturdy, high-impact voice, especially when set with ample tracking or generous line spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, projecting durability and straightforwardness. Its heavy, squared construction leans into vintage poster and sports-lettering associations while staying practical and no-nonsense.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a square, slabbed construction that stays legible under heavy weight. The tall x-height and compact detailing suggest an intention to keep text recognizable and cohesive in bold, attention-grabbing applications.
The texture in running text is dark and continuous, with pronounced slab silhouettes that maintain clarity at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a sign-painting/varsity weightiness, and the lowercase keeps a blunt, simplified rhythm that favors impact over delicacy.
