A heavy, high-contrast slab serif with compact proportions and a slightly condensed, vertical stance. Serifs are thick and mostly square-ended, with subtle bracketing that softens joins and helps the forms read cleanly at large sizes. Counters are relatively tight and the stroke modulation is pronounced, giving round letters a carved, sculptural feel. The lowercase shows sturdy, oldstyle-inspired shapes with a single-storey “g” and strong, squared terminals, while capitals maintain a disciplined, poster-like rhythm. Figures are bold and simplified with firm slabs and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, mastheads, and bold branding lockups. It also fits packaging and labels that benefit from a traditional, sturdy slab voice, and it can support sports or collegiate-style messaging when used with generous tracking and clear hierarchy.
The overall tone is emphatic and confident, projecting a classic “headline” seriousness with a faint vintage and athletic poster flavor. Its weight and slab structure feel industrial and workmanlike, while the high contrast adds a more editorial, premium edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and presence while staying firmly rooted in a classic slab-serif tradition. Its combination of dense weight, pronounced contrast, and squared serifs suggests a focus on attention-grabbing display typography that remains legible and structured in large-scale use.
In the text sample, the dense color and tight interior spaces create a strong typographic block that favors short lines and larger sizes. Distinctive, chunky serifs and crisp terminals help maintain character recognition across the alphabet and numerals.
