A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and a sturdy, rectangular rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely even, with subtle modulation that shows most at joins and around curves. The serifs read as solid slabs with slight bracketing, giving corners a softened, carved feel rather than razor-sharp geometry. Counters are generous and round in letters like O and Q, while horizontals and terminals stay blunt and emphatic, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its mass and slabs can do the work—posters, branding systems, packaging, labels, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage. It can also serve for bold editorial callouts and sports or heritage-themed graphics where a strong, classic presence is desired.
The overall tone is confident and extroverted, with a retro, collegiate energy. Its chunky slabs and rounded corners feel approachable rather than severe, suggesting traditional signage, team branding, and headline-forward editorial styles.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif backbone: big shapes, strong terminals, and a friendly, rounded sturdiness that remains legible at a distance. It prioritizes punchy word shapes and a consistent, commanding texture for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms lean into simple, monumental silhouettes (notably the wide C/G and the sturdy E/F), while lowercase remains similarly weighty with prominent, readable shapes. Numerals are robust and display-oriented, matching the same squared-off, slabbed construction for a consistent typographic color across mixed-case and numeric settings.
