A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions, squared-off terminals, and prominent bracketed slabs that create a strong, poster-like silhouette. Strokes are sturdy with moderate contrast, and the overall construction favors geometric, straight-sided forms with rounded joins in bowls and shoulders. Counters are relatively compact, apertures tend to be tight, and the face produces dense typographic color, especially in lowercase where the forms feel chunky and stable. Numerals follow the same robust, squared rhythm, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, editorial display, posters, and branding where a strong slab presence and compact counters add punch. It can also work well for packaging, signage, and sports/club identity systems that benefit from sturdy, traditional letterforms with high visual impact.
The tone is bold and confident with a throwback flavor reminiscent of traditional poster type and collegiate/athletic lettering. Its weight and slab structure give it a workmanlike, industrial authority, while the rounded interior shaping keeps it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and legibility in display contexts through heavy slabs, wide proportions, and a dense, consistent rhythm. Its structure prioritizes a confident, vintage-informed voice that stands out quickly in titles and short phrases.
The capitals present a strong, uniform rhythm and the serifs remain visually dominant across the set, reinforcing a consistent horizontal emphasis. In text settings the density and tight internal spaces increase impact but can feel emphatic, making spacing and size choices important for comfortable reading.
