A heavy slab-serif design with square-cut, largely unbracketed serifs and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are broad-shouldered and compact in feel, with flat terminals and clear vertical stress. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and emphatic, with chunky joins and decisive horizontal bars that read well at display sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and bold pull quotes where impact and sturdiness are needed. It can work effectively for signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, traditional voice, and it also fits sports or collegiate-style branding where strong slab serifs help project authority.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian confidence with a hint of vintage signage and workwear ephemera. Its blunt slabs and dense presence give it an assertive, no-nonsense tone that can feel both classic and industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through square slabs, minimal stroke modulation, and a compact, authoritative silhouette. It prioritizes clear, forceful shapes and consistent texture for attention-grabbing typography.
Numerals and capitals appear especially strong and uniform, creating a consistent, poster-ready color. The lowercase maintains the same blocky construction, keeping texture even in longer lines of text while remaining clearly more display-oriented than text-optimized.
