A sturdy slab-serif with dense, even strokes and clearly squared terminals. Serifs are heavy and largely rectangular, with subtle bracketing that softens joins without adding contrast. The drawing favors broad, compact letterforms with a strong horizontal emphasis, rounded bowls that stay firmly contained, and tight-looking counters that keep the texture dark and steady. Capitals read tall and authoritative, while the lowercase shows a relatively small x-height and pronounced ascenders, giving mixed-case settings a slightly top-heavy rhythm.
It performs best for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a strong, grounded slab-serif texture is desirable. The heavy serifs and compact interior space help it hold up in impactful titles, labels, and brand marks, especially in short-to-medium blocks of copy where a sturdy editorial or collegiate tone is wanted.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a workmanlike, poster-ready presence. It carries a collegiate and vintage-print flavor—solid, dependable, and a bit old-school—without feeling delicate or calligraphic. The heavy slabs and blocky silhouettes create a bold, declarative voice suited to straightforward messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, highly readable slab-serif voice with square-ended finishing and a compact, print-like texture. Its proportions and dense rhythm suggest an emphasis on display clarity and visual authority rather than delicacy or extended text neutrality.
In text, the font produces a consistent, dark color with strong word shapes and clear punctuation presence. The numerals are robust and geometric, matching the letterforms’ squared finishing and emphasizing legibility at display sizes. Its compact counters and strong serifs make it feel most comfortable when given a bit of breathing room in line spacing.
