A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and strongly anchored, rectangular serifs that read as slightly bracketed rather than fully sharp. Strokes are robust with a noticeable but not delicate contrast, giving the letters a sculpted, press-like solidity. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed, producing dense word shapes, while joins and terminals stay blunt and square. The overall rhythm is steady and weighty, with a consistent, engineered feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where impact and presence are priorities, such as posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It also fits branding systems that need a sturdy, institutional or team-oriented voice, and it can work for pull quotes or section headers where a dense, commanding typographic texture is desirable.
The font projects a bold, workmanlike voice that feels confident and no-nonsense. Its dense color and slab construction suggest vintage print, signage, and institutional lettering, with a hint of classic collegiate poster energy. The tone is authoritative and durable rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and stability through broad letterforms and pronounced slab serifs, creating a strong, printable silhouette that holds up in bold display sizes. Its controlled contrast and blunt terminals aim for clarity and authority, evoking traditional slab serif poster and signage conventions.
In text settings the heavy weight and tight interior spaces create a strong typographic “color,” making line blocks feel compact and emphatic. The numerals follow the same sturdy, slabbed logic as the letters, matching well for display-led layouts where prominence matters more than airiness.
