A robust slab-serif with heavy, square-cut serifs and largely unbracketed joins. Strokes are thick and confident, with relatively tight apertures and compact counters that emphasize a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. The uppercase forms read broad and stable with flat terminals, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure (two-storey a, single-storey g) and a pronounced, rectangular feel in stems and feet. Numerals match the weight and squareness, with strong horizontals and clear, billboard-like shapes.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and packaging where strong typographic presence is needed. It also fits branding systems that want an established, heritage-leaning voice (especially collegiate or workwear-inspired identities), and can work for short editorial decks or book-cover titling when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is firm and traditional, projecting reliability and institutional confidence. Its blocky serifs and weight give it a classic, old-school editorial and collegiate energy—more declarative than delicate—suited to messaging that needs to feel grounded and unmistakable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through sturdy slab serifs, compact interior spaces, and a strongly rectangular construction. It prioritizes legibility at display sizes and a confident, classic tone over delicate detail or airy text color.
At text sizes the heavy color creates strong emphasis and can build dense paragraphs, so it performs best with comfortable tracking and leading. The straight-sided geometry and flat serif endings create a consistent, sign-painter-like rhythm across both caps and lowercase.
