A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions, strong vertical stress, and crisp, squared-off terminals. Serifs are prominent and mostly rectangular, with subtle bracketing/fillets where stems meet slabs, giving joins a slightly softened, ink-friendly feel. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are small, creating dense, dark word shapes; curves (C, G, O, S) are smooth but firmly controlled, with flat-ish endings that reinforce the sturdy rhythm. Numerals share the same weighty, poster-like stance, with simple, high-contrast internal shapes and confident slab finishes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a dense, high-impact color is an advantage. It can also serve branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif voice and clear letterforms at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a traditional, print-forward character that reads as dependable and institutional. It carries a retro editorial and collegiate flavor—more headline-and-signage than delicate typography—projecting confidence and solidity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif structure: strong stems, emphatic serifs, and a compact internal rhythm that holds together in bold display settings. The slightly softened joins suggest attention to practical reproduction in print while preserving a decisive, square-ended silhouette.
The lowercase shows a compact, workmanlike texture with strong stems and small joins, while the uppercase maintains a uniform, blocky cadence suitable for prominent settings. Spacing appears built to keep lines visually cohesive in heavy text, favoring impact over airiness.
