A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and clearly bracketed rectangular serifs that create a solid, planted stance. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast rhythm overall, with rounded joins and slightly softened corners that keep the mass from feeling brittle. The uppercase is wide and emphatic, while the lowercase stays similarly robust with a steady, workmanlike texture; numerals are large and weighty, matching the capitals in presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, dependable voice is needed. Its dense, sturdy letterforms also work well for packaging and signage, and it can evoke collegiate or sports-oriented identity systems in short text or titling.
The tone is assertive and familiar, balancing a classic, old-style sturdiness with a modern, headline-forward punch. It reads as dependable and slightly collegiate, with enough refinement to feel editorial rather than purely industrial.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif foundation, prioritizing sturdy structure, bold presence, and clear, blocky shapes for display typography.
The design favors strong silhouettes and short, firm terminals, producing a dark, authoritative color on the page. Spacing and shapes support loud display settings, where the slabs and broad forms help hold structure at larger sizes.
