A heavy slab-serif with broad, compact letterforms and strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes are thick with subtle modulation, and curves are generous, giving bowls and counters a rounded, softened feel despite the overall blocky construction. Terminals are blunt and square, joins are robust, and the rhythm is steady with clear vertical stress. The lowercase shows sturdy, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short, powerful extenders, maintaining a dense, even texture in paragraph settings.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and short blocks of copy where a strong typographic voice is desired. It works well for posters, sports/collegiate graphics, packaging, and bold brand marks, and can support editorial pull quotes or section headers that need a grounded, authoritative feel.
The overall tone is confident and muscular, with a vintage print and poster sensibility. Its chunky slabs and rounded heft evoke classic editorial headlines, sports and campus signage, and workmanlike branding where impact and solidity matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded take on a traditional slab-serif structure. It balances classic print-era cues with a simplified, high-weight construction to stay legible and distinctive at display sizes.
The numerals match the letterforms in weight and presence, reading as bold, sign-like figures with simple, sturdy shapes. In text, the dense color and prominent slabs create a strong horizontal banding, making the face feel best when given space and size rather than tight, small settings.
