A heavy, block-forward serif with prominent slab terminals and subtly bracketed joins that soften the overall silhouette. Strokes stay largely even, with only modest modulation, and the shapes emphasize broad, squared counters and strong verticals. Corners are slightly eased and several joins show small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that add texture at display sizes. Uppercase forms are wide and stable; lowercase maintains a compact, sturdy rhythm with a single-storey “a” and robust bowls throughout, giving the face a dense, poster-ready color.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand marks. It also fits sports and collegiate-style graphics, product packaging, and labels where a strong, traditional slab presence helps carry the message at a glance.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense voice that reads as classic American display typography—part collegiate signage, part old-style poster and packaging. Its weight and slabs feel dependable and grounded, while the small cut-ins and softened brackets add a touch of vintage craft.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a familiar, heritage slab-serif flavor, balancing blunt geometry with slightly softened, bracketed details for a more crafted feel. It prioritizes legibility and authority in large sizes while maintaining a distinctive, vintage-leaning character.
Figures are equally stout and geometric, matching the letterforms’ broad proportions and strong baseline presence. The overall texture is dark and emphatic, favoring impact over delicacy, and the spacing appears tuned for large settings where the slab terminals and interior shapes can breathe.
