A heavy, block-driven serif with prominent square slabs and largely unbracketed joins. Strokes maintain an even, monoline-like weight, with counters that are compact and strongly enclosed, giving letters a dense, impactful silhouette. Terminals are flat and cut cleanly, and the overall geometry favors straight stems, broad horizontals, and firm right angles, with rounded forms (C, O, G) kept wide and stable. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with large, simple shapes and minimal detailing for maximum visual solidity.
Best used for display typography such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where weight and structure help text hold its own. It also fits sports or collegiate-style branding and signage that benefits from a sturdy, block serif presence.
The face communicates strength and permanence, with a classic poster and varsity sensibility. Its blunt slabs and compact counters create a no-nonsense tone that reads as bold, dependable, and slightly nostalgic—well suited to statements that should feel emphatic and grounded.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a simple, industrial slab construction—prioritizing legibility through strong verticals, flat terminals, and consistent stroke weight. The overall look suggests an intention to evoke traditional, workmanlike display typography with a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The design prioritizes strong silhouettes over delicate interior space, so spacing and word shapes feel tight and punchy at display sizes. The square serif treatment stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a uniform, sign-like rhythm.
