A heavy slab-serif design with compact proportions and strong, blunt terminals. Serifs are thick and generally bracketed into the stems, creating a sturdy, sculpted silhouette. Curves are broad and simplified, counters are relatively tight for the weight, and joins stay crisp, giving the face a dense, stamp-like rhythm. Lowercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, with single-storey shapes where applicable and pronounced slab feet on verticals; numerals follow the same chunky, uniform construction.
Best for headlines, posters, and display settings that need bold impact and a sturdy, traditional flavor. It also fits sports and club branding, labels and packaging, and short signage where strong letterforms and a confident presence are priorities.
The font projects a confident, workmanlike tone with a vintage poster sensibility. Its weight and squared slabs evoke classic Americana and team-lettering energy, reading as assertive and grounded rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum solidity and visibility with a nostalgic slab-serif voice, balancing chunky serifs and simplified curves for dependable, attention-getting display typography.
In the text sample, the dark color and compact spacing create strong word shapes and immediate emphasis. The heavy serifs help maintain structure in round letters, while the overall massing makes it best suited to larger sizes where interior counters have room to breathe.
