A heavy, blocky slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, rectangular construction. Serifs are prominent and largely squared, with subtle bracketing and occasional notched/ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins that add crispness in dense areas. Curves (C, G, O, Q, e) are full and geometric, while terminals stay blunt and firmly grounded, producing a compact, poster-ready texture. Counters are moderate and the overall rhythm is tight and even, with a strong baseline presence and minimal stroke modulation for a solid, stamped look.
Best suited to large sizes where its slab details and internal cut-ins can read clearly: posters, headlines, team or event branding, badges, and bold packaging. It can also work for signage and short pull quotes where a strong, vintage-leaning emphasis is desired.
The font reads loud and confident, blending a collegiate/athletic energy with a vintage poster and frontier-sign sensibility. Its chunky slabs and squared details give it a no-nonsense, attention-grabbing tone, while the rounded bowls keep it friendly rather than severe.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab foundation—combining sturdy, rectangular serifs and generous curves to create a bold display face that feels traditional, energetic, and highly legible at headline scale.
In text, the strong serifs and tight internal spacing create a dark, continuous color that favors short headlines over long passages. The numerals match the letterforms with similarly weighty shapes and blunt terminals, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented voice.
