A heavyweight slab serif with broad proportions, firm vertical stress, and squared, bracketed serifs that read as solid “feet” at the ends of strokes. Strokes are dense and confident with noticeable but not delicate contrast; counters stay open and round forms (C, O, G, Q) are full and weighty. The lowercase follows a compact, workmanlike rhythm with sturdy joins and short extenders, while terminals remain blunt and serifed, giving the design a consistent, poster-ready texture. Numerals are similarly bold and straightforward, with ample ink coverage and stable silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks where a strong slab-serif voice is desirable. It can work for short subheads and callouts, but its heavy texture will dominate in extended paragraphs, especially at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is loud, dependable, and slightly nostalgic—evoking storefront signage, varsity/club lettering, and old-school print. Its thick slabs and blocky shapes communicate strength and practicality rather than refinement, making it feel grounded and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif structure—balancing sturdy geometry and bracketed slabs to produce a classic, hardworking display face. It prioritizes presence, clarity, and a familiar vintage/collegiate feel over delicacy or minimalism.
In longer text the color becomes very dark and emphatic, with tight-looking interior spaces and strong horizontal moments from the serifs and crossbars. The design favors impact and legibility at display sizes, where the slab details and rounded counters are most readable.
