A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with rounded corners and broad, squared terminals. Serifs are sturdy and often bracketed into the stems, creating a continuous, carved look rather than crisp, hairline joins. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, while select letters show subtle ink-trap-like notches and angled cuts that keep joins from clogging at this weight. The lowercase is robust and compact with a sturdy, single-storey feel where applicable, and the numerals follow the same chunky, poster-friendly rhythm.
It suits bold headlines and short bursts of copy where impact matters—posters, signage, sports or collegiate-style branding, packaging, and punchy editorial callouts. It can work for brief subheads or labels when sized up and given enough tracking and line spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a vintage, varsity-meets-carnival energy. Its chunky slabs and softened corners give it a friendly toughness—more expressive and attention-grabbing than formal or delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a distinctive slab-serif silhouette, balancing rugged, carved details with softened geometry for approachable display typography. Its sturdy proportions and emphatic terminals suggest an intention to evoke classic American display lettering while remaining highly legible at large sizes.
In text, the dense color and tight internal spaces make it feel best when given generous size and spacing. The design’s small counters and deep joins can visually fill in at smaller sizes, while at display sizes the angular nicks and slab shapes become a defining character feature.
