A heavy slab-serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and softly rounded joins that give the shapes a sturdy, slightly condensed presence. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, especially in curves, while the slabs stay broad and stable, producing a strong baseline and a crisp, poster-like silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with ball terminals and bulbous details appearing in several lowercase forms, adding a subtly “inked” texture to the color on the page. Numerals are weighty and blocky, matching the letterforms with robust feet and solid curves for high impact in display settings.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its dense texture and strong slabs can anchor a layout. It works well for posters, book covers, sports or collegiate branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, rugged presence and high visual impact.
The font conveys a confident, traditional tone with a vintage, print-forward personality. Its sturdy slabs and dense color suggest authority and durability, while the rounded, bracketed details soften the voice into something approachable and familiar rather than austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, authoritative slab-serif voice with a traditional print character—combining sturdy serifs for structure with rounded, bracketed shaping for warmth and legibility at display sizes.
The sample text shows strong word-shape consistency and an emphatic texture at larger sizes, with details that read as deliberate and crafted rather than purely geometric. The combination of broad slabs and noticeable modulation creates a lively, slightly old-style feel that remains highly assertive.
