A heavy serif with flared stems and pronounced bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like terminals. The design has compact counters and sturdy, blocky proportions, with a slightly squarish roundness in bowls (C, O) and strong vertical emphasis. Joins are tight and corners stay crisp, while curved strokes remain smooth and controlled, producing a solid, poster-ready texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, decks, and short blocks of display text where strong presence and tradition-forward character are desired. It can work well for editorial titling, sports/collegiate branding, packaging, and signage where a compact, high-impact serif texture helps text hold attention.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an old-school, institutional feel that reads as authoritative and dependable. Its dense rhythm and emphatic serifs give it a headline voice that can feel sporty or editorial depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra punch, using flared, bracketed terminals and compact internal space to create a dense, commanding silhouette. It prioritizes impact and stability over delicacy, aiming for clear recognition at display sizes.
Uppercase forms are especially dominant and stable, while lowercase retains the same weight and seriousness through compact apertures and short-looking extenders. Numerals match the letterforms’ sturdy stance and high visual presence, maintaining consistent heft and terminal treatment across the set.
