A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and a compact internal rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with sturdy rectangular serifs and mostly square-ended terminals that keep the silhouette crisp. Counters are fairly tight and often rounded, giving letters like C, O, Q, and e a soft interior against otherwise flat, structural edges. The overall texture is dense and dark, with clear, simplified joins and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to display contexts where strong impact is needed: headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand marks. It also fits packaging and editorial callouts where a retro or collegiate feel is desirable. For longer passages, it works more comfortably at larger sizes where its tight counters and dense color have room to breathe.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly vintage, athletic flavor. Its chunky slabs and broad stance feel assertive and friendly at the same time, making the voice read as energetic rather than formal. The rounded counters add approachability, tempering the industrial weight with a playful warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a stable, athletic slab-serif structure. It favors simplified, geometric construction and broad silhouettes to read quickly and confidently in display typography, while maintaining a friendly character through rounded interiors.
The numerals are robust and headline-oriented, matching the letterforms’ broad, slabbed construction. In text settings the heavy weight creates strong emphasis and a compact, poster-like color, so spacing and size become key to keeping counters open and word shapes distinct.
