A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with pronounced rectangular serifs and clear bracketed joins. Strokes show noticeable contrast: thick verticals paired with slimmer connecting strokes, giving counters a sculpted, engraved feel. The design is wide and assertive with generous, flat terminals and crisp edges; lowercase forms keep a tall x-height and straightforward construction, while capitals carry strong, squared-off proportions. Numerals match the weight and stance, with bold, stable shapes and firm baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and branding moments where impact and presence are the priority. It can also work for editorial display and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, traditional voice, while extended passages will appear dense and attention-grabbing due to the weight and strong slab structure.
The overall tone feels bold and authoritative, with a vintage, headline-driven character that reads as collegiate and industrial. Its strong slabs and high-contrast rhythm evoke classic poster typography and old-style print emphasis, projecting confidence and solidity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority with a classic slab-serif voice—combining sturdy construction, pronounced serifs, and contrasted strokes for poster-like emphasis and confident readability at larger sizes.
The face builds emphasis through mass and serif structure rather than ornament, with consistent, blocklike silhouettes across the alphabet. In text settings it creates a dark, even color and a punchy rhythm, especially where the stout serifs visually underline the baseline and cap line.
