A heavy, block-driven slab serif with broad proportions and compact counters. The letterforms are built from thick verticals and horizontals with noticeable, squared slabs and subtle bracketing where stems meet serifs. Curves are rounded but tightly controlled, giving bowls (o, e, p) a dense, punchy texture, while joins and corners show small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that help keep shapes open at large weights. Rhythm is assertive and even, with strong horizontals on E/F/T and a robust diagonal structure in V/W/X that stays crisp and stable.
Best suited to display typography where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks. Its dense, slabbed construction also works well for sports or collegiate-style graphics and for packaging or labels that benefit from a sturdy, high-impact voice.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning into a collegiate and workwear sensibility. It feels dependable and emphatic—more about impact and authority than delicacy—while still retaining a slightly vintage, print-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with clear, squared-off serifs and controlled curvature, balancing a traditional slab-serif foundation with practical detailing that preserves clarity at bold sizes. It aims for a confident, classic display look that holds up in short text and logo-like settings.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental, with a strong headline silhouette and minimal interior space. Numerals are similarly hefty and geometric, matching the caps’ weight and presence for consistent emphasis in display settings.
