A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The serifs are square and weighty, often forming wedge-like feet and blunt, flat-ended terminals that reinforce a strong horizontal rhythm. Curves are compact and slightly squared off, with tight apertures and dense counters that keep color even across lines. The lowercase shows a very tall x-height and simple, workmanlike forms, while figures and caps feel similarly robust and tightly constructed for uniform texture.
This face works best for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, and display copy where its bold slabs and oblique momentum can do the heavy lifting. It also suits sports branding, labels, and signage that benefit from a strong, durable texture and a distinctly blocky serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a familiar collegiate/utility flavor. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs give it a forward-moving, performance-oriented feel that reads as vintage without becoming delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, attention-grabbing slab-serif voice with an oblique, forward-leaning posture. Its wide stance, tall lowercase, and blunt terminals suggest a focus on bold readability and a confident, vintage-leaning display presence.
The design maintains a consistent, engineered geometry across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a steady typographic color in paragraph settings. The pronounced slab presence and compact interior spaces make it most comfortable at medium to large sizes where the internal detail can breathe.
