A heavy, slab-serif design with broad, rectangular serifs and mostly squared terminals softened by gentle curves. The stroke construction is robust and even, with moderate, visible contrast and large counters that keep forms open at display sizes. Curves (C, G, O, S) are round and full, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) feel compact and block-like. Lowercase is weighty and readable, with single-storey forms where expected (a, g) and a strong, rounded dot on i/j; figures are similarly bold and geometric, built for punch and clarity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks where strong presence is required. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, classic slab-serif voice, and for short pull quotes or subheads where legibility and impact are both important.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an industrial and collegiate flavor that reads as dependable and workmanlike. Its thick slabs and compact rhythm give it a poster-ready authority, while the rounded inner shapes add a friendly, approachable warmth.
The letterforms suggest a deliberate aim for maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure: bold, grounded shapes, clear counters, and a compact rhythm that holds together in large-scale typography. It appears designed to communicate strength and reliability while staying readable and approachable.
The design’s visual mass concentrates at the baseline through pronounced slabs, creating a grounded texture in paragraphs. Spacing appears generous enough to prevent the heavy strokes from clumping, supporting short text settings despite the boldness.
