A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes are thick and mostly even, with just enough modulation to keep joins and curves from feeling mechanical. Counters are generous for the weight, terminals are blunt, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are smoothly rounded, giving the face a solid but approachable texture. Overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with assertive horizontals and a distinctly chunky silhouette in both letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and branding where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It also fits sports and school identity work, badges, labels, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy slab-serif voice. In longer text it will create a very dark, emphatic texture, making it most effective for short bursts, pull quotes, and prominent typographic accents.
The font projects a robust, dependable tone with a classic collegiate and mid-century poster flavor. Its weight and slabs feel authoritative and grounded, while the rounded curves and open counters keep it friendly rather than severe. The overall impression is bold, readable, and attention-getting.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif structure—pairing prominent bracketed slabs and broad letterforms for authority, while retaining rounded curves and open counters for warmth and legibility in display settings.
Uppercase forms are particularly commanding, with wide, stable shapes and prominent serifs that hold together well at display sizes. Lowercase maintains the same blocky logic, producing a dense, dark typographic color in paragraphs. Numerals match the heavyweight character, with rounded figures that read clearly and feel stylistically consistent with the caps.
