A heavy, block-structured slab serif with broad proportions and firmly bracketed serifs. Strokes are predominantly monolinear, with subtle modulation and strong, squared terminals that create a steady, architectural rhythm. Counters are generous for the weight, and joins show slight carving that reads like mild ink-trap shaping at small interior corners. The x-height is notably tall, giving lowercase a compact, sturdy stance and keeping word shapes dense and highly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial settings where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also work well for packaging and brand marks that need a sturdy, heritage-leaning slab serif voice, and for sports/collegiate-style identities that benefit from broad, emphatic letterforms.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a distinctly traditional, editorial presence. Its sturdy slabs and broad stance evoke collegiate and workwear cues while still feeling polished enough for contemporary branding that wants weight and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and readability through wide, slabbed forms and a tall lowercase that holds up in bold display typography. Its consistent weight distribution and carved inner corners suggest an aim for stable printing behavior and clear reproduction in demanding, high-contrast layouts.
Spacing appears comfortable for a display serif in this weight, with consistent color across mixed-case text. Numerals are large and bold with simple, sturdy forms that match the letters’ blocky geometry and strong baseline presence.
