A dense, heavy slab serif with broad proportions and a squared, block-built construction. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with large rectangular serifs and mostly flat terminals that create a strong, poster-ready silhouette. Curves are slightly squared-off and tightened, and interior counters are relatively small, boosting color and impact. The lowercase is compact with a robust, two-storey feel in key forms, and the figures are similarly weighty and geometric, keeping an even rhythm across mixed text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display copy, posters, and storefront or wayfinding signage. It also fits branding applications like badges, sports-inspired marks, and bold packaging where a solid, traditional slab-serif voice is needed.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a familiar collegiate and old-school print flavor. Its mass and squared details read as dependable and assertive, leaning toward signage, packaging, and headline typography rather than subtle editorial refinement.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum presence and legibility at display sizes through thick strokes, large slab serifs, and compact counters, while projecting a classic, utilitarian personality.
The design maintains a consistent, heavy texture across the alphabet, with noticeable squaring in round letters and a strong baseline presence. Diacritics are not shown; punctuation in the sample suggests the same thick, square-ended approach for marks and dots.
