A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and clear vertical stress. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thick stems paired to prominent, rectangular slabs that read as bracketed and slightly softened at the joins. Curves are full and weighty (notably in C, O, S, and numerals), while horizontals and serifs stay crisp and flat, creating a steady baseline and strong silhouette. Spacing appears generous and the letterforms maintain a consistent, punchy rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event identities, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for logo wordmarks and section headers where a strong, traditional slab presence is desired, while long body text may feel dense due to the heavy color and tighter counters.
The overall tone is sturdy and assertive, with a classic collegiate and old-poster sensibility. Its oversized slabs and compact internal spaces give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels traditional, dependable, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif backbone—combining strong, rectangular serifs and full curves to evoke heritage print and collegiate display typography while maintaining straightforward readability at large sizes.
The lowercase echoes the same blocky construction as the uppercase, with single-storey forms where applicable and bold punctuation-like dots on i/j. Figures are heavy and highly legible, favoring simple, sign-painting-like shapes over delicate detailing.
