A dark, display-leaning serif with a largely squared, engineered skeleton and crisp, straight-sided curves. Strokes are heavy with noticeable contrast and sharp joins, combining flat, slab-like horizontals with small, pointed serif accents and occasional spur-like details. The capitals are compact and blocky, while the lowercase keeps a tall x-height and strong presence; rounded letters like o/e show rectangular inner counters that reinforce the geometric rhythm. Numerals follow the same squarish, cut-out construction, maintaining a consistent, industrial-meets-classic texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and logotypes where a bold, vintage-tinged voice is desirable. It can also work for editorial display elements, sports or collegiate-inspired branding, and signage that benefits from sturdy letterforms and distinctive counters. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the angular details and compact apertures can breathe.
This typeface projects a confident, slightly theatrical tone—part collegiate, part vintage poster. The squared counters and emphatic terminals give it a sturdy, no-nonsense voice, while the subtle flaring and serif details add a traditional, craft-forward feel. Overall it reads as assertive and attention-grabbing without becoming playful or whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver strong headline impact through dense, squared forms and high visual weight, while retaining a serif identity via pointed terminals and traditional detailing. Its geometry and rectangular counters suggest a focus on uniform texture and sign-like clarity, suited to short bursts of text that need to read quickly and feel established.
The font’s distinctive character comes from its squared interior spaces (notably in O, Q, e, and several numerals) and a mix of flat cuts and pointed serif tips, creating a hybrid of geometric construction and classic serif finishing. The overall spacing and rhythm feel designed for impact, producing a dark, consistent typographic color in lines of display text.
