A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with flat, square-cut terminals and robust slab-like feet that read as bracketless. The geometry favors straight edges and rectangular joins, while bowls and counters stay generously rounded, creating a strong black mass with softened interior shapes. Spacing is sturdy and even, producing a steady, billboard-like rhythm in text and a powerful silhouette in capitals and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and large-format messaging where impact and clarity matter more than delicate detail. It also fits sports and collegiate branding, product packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, blocky slab-serif presence.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, with a retro, poster-driven energy. Its chunky slabs and wide stance feel sporty and assertive, while the rounded counters keep it friendly rather than severe. The result is a confident display voice that reads as classic, upbeat, and attention-getting.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that combines square-cut sturdiness with rounded interior forms for approachability. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, simple construction, and bold legibility for branding and promotional typography.
In the sample text, the dense weight and tight apertures make word shapes feel compact and emphatic, especially at larger sizes. The numerals share the same heavy, squared-off construction, supporting strong, consistent headline composition.
