A heavy, sturdy serif with squared, slabby terminals and a clearly sculpted, high-contrast structure. Strokes are broad and assertive, with tight interior counters and compact apertures that create a dense color on the page. Serifs read as thick and supportive with subtly bracketed joins, while curves (C, O, S) are rounded but firmly contained by the font’s blocky rhythm. Lowercase forms are robust and compact, with a two-storey a and firm, squared-off shoulders; numerals follow the same chunky, poster-oriented construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a strong, compact word shape is desirable. It also fits sports or collegiate-style branding, editorial pull quotes, and any application needing high-impact typography at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and authoritative, with a classic, slightly retro display energy. It feels assertive and grounded—more headline and signage than delicate reading—conveying strength, tradition, and a punchy editorial presence.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through thick slabs, condensed interior space, and confident proportions, aiming for a strong display voice that stays legible while feeling emphatic and traditional.
The design’s tight counters and heavy joins create strong texture at large sizes, and the squared terminals help keep shapes crisp and graphic. In longer setting it reads as dense and emphatic, with letterforms that prioritize impact over airiness.
