A heavy, high-impact serif design with blocky proportions and distinctive chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-in silhouette on many curves and terminals. Stems are sturdy and largely monolinear, with wedge-like, angular serifs and short, crisp joins that keep the rhythm tight and compact. Counters tend to be squared-off or faceted (notably in round letters and numerals), and the overall construction favors straight segments and clipped curves over smooth bowls. The lowercase follows the same faceted logic, pairing relatively compact forms with pronounced, angular terminals for a consistent, carved look.
Best suited to display typography where its angular detailing can be appreciated—team and collegiate branding, apparel graphics, badges and marks, poster headlines, and packaging that wants a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice. It can also work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense weight and sharp faceting are most effective when given room to breathe.
The face reads as collegiate and vintage, combining the authority of traditional serif structure with the toughness of lettered signage and sports branding. Its sharp chamfers and dense weight project confidence and durability, with a slightly industrial, stamped or carved feel rather than a delicate bookish tone.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif legibility with a decorative, carved/chamfered construction that feels emblematic and robust. Its consistent faceting and compact, block-forward silhouettes suggest a focus on strong identity work and high-contrast presence in headline and mark-making contexts.
At display sizes the faceting becomes a key character cue, giving round letters a disciplined, geometric presence. The numerals echo the same clipped geometry, reinforcing a uniform, emblematic texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
