A heavy, compact slab-serif with squared, block-like terminals and minimal stroke modulation. Serifs are prominent and mostly flat-ended with slight bracketing, producing sturdy corners and a strong horizontal emphasis. Counters are relatively tight, curves are firm and rounded rather than delicate, and joins feel blunt and mechanical. The lowercase is robust with short-to-moderate extenders, while the numerals and caps maintain a consistent, high-impact rhythm suited to large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and branding where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It also works well on packaging and labels that want a traditional, sturdy voice, especially when set with a bit of extra spacing to keep counters open.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic, slightly retro feel reminiscent of utilitarian printing and collegiate or athletic lettering. Its dense color and big serifs give it a no-nonsense presence that reads as dependable, traditional, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif voice with an old-school print sensibility—favoring strong serifs, compact proportions, and a dense texture for clear, emphatic display typography.
At text sizes the weight creates a dark typographic color, and the chunky serifs can start to close up interior spaces in tighter settings; it benefits from comfortable tracking and leading. The forms prioritize impact and sturdiness over delicacy, making it most convincing in display-led compositions.
