A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, mostly unbracketed serifs and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with short, sturdy arms and flat terminals that keep counters tight and shapes compact. The overall construction favors straight segments and right angles, with rounded forms (like O and 0) rendered as squared-off, faceted bowls. Numerals and capitals read particularly strong, with a consistent, poster-like rhythm and minimal interior whitespace.
Best suited to large sizes where its chunky slabs and chamfered geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, team or club marks, and bold signage. It also works well for packaging, labels, and merchandise where a tough, heritage-influenced voice is desirable. For paragraphs or small UI text, its dense forms are more effective in short bursts than sustained reading.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking varsity lettering, workwear labeling, and old-school display typography. Its faceted corners and chunky slabs add a rugged, slightly vintage flavor that feels both sporty and industrial. Overall, it communicates strength, impact, and straightforward utility rather than delicacy or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a compact, slab-serif structure and faceted, squared curves. By emphasizing flat terminals, strong serifs, and consistent stroke weight, it aims to project durability and confidence while retaining a recognizable retro/athletic vernacular.
The lowercase is deliberately sturdy and simplified to match the uppercase, producing a cohesive, uniform color in text. The ampersand follows the same angular, slabby logic, helping punctuation feel integrated rather than ornamental. In longer lines the dense letterforms create a dark texture, so generous spacing and ample size help maintain clarity.
