A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions, large counters, and firm, rectangular shaping throughout. Serifs read as thick slabs with subtle bracketing, giving joins a reinforced, engineered feel rather than a delicate book texture. Stroke modulation is present but controlled, with rounded interior corners and occasional notch-like cut-ins that resemble ink traps at tight joins and terminals. Curves (O, C, S) are generously inflated and slightly squared in their turning points, while diagonals (V, W, X) stay stout and stable, producing a dense, even color at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and branding where thick strokes and slab serifs can carry visual authority. It also fits sports, collegiate, and product packaging applications that benefit from a bold, vintage-leaning, industrial voice.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a vintage poster and old-style headline energy. It conveys solidity and impact—more “built” than “written”—suggesting practicality, durability, and a touch of Americana/collegiate bravado.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and legibility in large sizes through wide silhouettes, chunky slab serifs, and controlled contrast. The squared curves and reinforced joins suggest an aim for a rugged, poster-ready aesthetic that holds up under strong color and tight headline composition.
The lowercase has a compact, sturdy construction with single-storey forms where applicable (notably the “g”), and the numerals follow the same broad, weighty rhythm with open, legible counters. Spacing appears tuned for display: letters sit comfortably without looking airy, maintaining a strong horizontal banding across lines.
