A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a steady, uniform stroke weight. The serifs are chunky and mostly square-ended, giving letters a blocky footprint and strong baseline presence. Curves are large and full, while joins and inner corners show small cut-ins that read like ink-trap or notched detailing, helping counters stay open at this weight. Overall spacing and rhythm feel consistent and mechanical, supporting a sturdy, poster-ready texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where a compact, punchy texture is desirable. The broad, slabbed forms and consistent weight make it a strong choice for sports branding, badges, packaging, and signage that needs to read with authority.
The tone is forceful and energetic, combining utilitarian ruggedness with a distinctly retro, collegiate feel. Its italic slant and blunt slabs add motion and confidence, making the overall impression loud, direct, and attention-seeking rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy, engineered feel: wide letterforms, bold slabs, and a forward slant that suggests speed. The corner notches and squared terminals reinforce a functional, print-friendly look aimed at confident display typography.
The figures and capitals have a substantial, sign-like weight with rounded counters and prominent slab feet, producing strong word shapes at display sizes. The notched corner detailing becomes a defining texture in running text, adding bite and separation in dense settings.
