A heavy, wide slab serif with pronounced, squared serifs and clear bracket transitions into the stems. Strokes show noticeable contrast for the genre, with thick verticals and slightly lighter joins and curves, creating a crisp, carved rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the shapes feel compact and weighty, while terminals stay blunt and decisive. The lowercase keeps sturdy proportions with a robust, double-storey “g” and strong slabbed feet, and the numerals follow the same blocky, high-impact construction.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and large typographic statements where its weight and slab structure can dominate the page. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, retro-leaning voice. In longer passages it will read heavy and dense, so it works most comfortably at larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a distinctly vintage, print-forward presence. Its chunky slabs and condensed inner spaces evoke classic editorial headlines, sports/collegiate branding, and old-school signage where impact matters more than delicacy.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum visual authority with a classic slab-serif silhouette, balancing strong rectangular serifs with enough internal contrast and curvature to stay readable. The intent seems to be a versatile display slab that feels traditional, dependable, and attention-grabbing across branding and editorial uses.
In the text sample, the dense color and wide stance create strong line-level texture, with rounded letters like O/Q reading especially solid and monumental. The design maintains consistent serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified, poster-like voice.
