A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and dense, squared counters. Serifs are thick and strongly bracketed, creating a solid, poster-like silhouette with minimal delicacy. Stroke endings and joins show subtle notches and cut-ins that resemble ink-trap-like shaping, helping keep interior spaces open at bold sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a single-storey a and g, a firm, squared-shoulder n/m, and a short, stout t; figures are wide and hefty with simple, straightforward construction.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as posters, headlines, and signage where its heavy slabs and wide forms can deliver maximum impact. It also fits sports branding, labels, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is assertive and hardworking, with a classic American display flavor that reads as athletic and industrial. Its weight and blocky slabs add a confident, no-nonsense presence suited to bold statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to provide high-impact display typography with a robust slab-serif structure, prioritizing presence and clarity at bold sizes while preserving counters through subtle cut-ins at joins and terminals.
Spacing and rhythm feel deliberate and tight, emphasizing strong verticals and broad bowls. The design maintains consistent slab treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving mixed-case settings a unified, punchy texture.
