A heavy slab serif with broad, weighty letterforms and a strongly rectangular construction. Strokes are largely even with subtle modulation, and the serifs read as thick, squared slabs with gentle bracketing that softens the joins. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are moderately closed, giving the face a dense, poster-ready color. The lowercase is robust and compact with a prominent x-height, and details like the angular arm on the “r” and the chunky terminals contribute to a utilitarian, workmanlike rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and large-scale typographic statements where its dense weight and slab structure can do the heavy lifting. It works well for branding and packaging that needs a durable, straightforward voice, and it’s a natural fit for sports, workwear, and heritage-inspired graphics where bold, blocky forms are an advantage.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a rugged, dependable feel reminiscent of industrial labeling, collegiate graphics, and vintage display typography. Its mass and blunt geometry convey strength and clarity rather than delicacy, producing an energetic, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif silhouette, balancing geometric blockiness with slightly softened joins to keep the texture readable. It aims for a practical, high-visibility style that feels classic and utilitarian rather than decorative.
Round letters (like O/C/G) stay quite full and horizontal in stress, while the numerals are similarly blocky and highly emphatic, matching the text weight closely. The design maintains consistent, tightly packed internal spacing, which helps it hold together as a solid texture in paragraphs but can look especially powerful when given generous tracking at display sizes.
