A heavy, chunky slab-serif with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are strongly weighted with moderate contrast, and the serifs read as square, bracketed slabs that add a sturdy, grounded footprint. Curves (C, O, S) are generously rounded but tightened by the overall mass, while joins and notches create crisp interior corners that can feel slightly ink-trap-like at text sizes. The lowercase is robust and straightforward, with a single-storey a and a dense, round o; numerals are bold and geometric, with clear, wide silhouettes.
Best suited to display contexts where weight and presence are an advantage—headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand moments. It can also work for packaging or editorial display where a sturdy slab voice is desired, especially when paired with a lighter companion for longer reading.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, leaning toward a retro, workmanlike aesthetic. Its mass and slab detailing give it an industrial, collegiate-adjacent energy that feels built for impact rather than subtlety.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual authority with a classic slab-serif backbone, prioritizing bold shapes, stable footing, and quick recognition in short bursts of text.
The design maintains a consistent, muscular rhythm across the alphabet, with especially strong horizontals and prominent slab terminals that help stabilize wide letterforms. At large sizes it reads as clean and graphic; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and thick joins may benefit from generous spacing.
