A heavy slab-serif display face built from squared, octagonal forms with clipped corners and sturdy verticals. Strokes are predominantly straight and geometric, with minimal curvature, producing a compact, punchy silhouette. A thin inline cut and outer edge detailing create a layered, engraved effect that sharpens the counters and emphasizes the interior structure. Spacing and proportions feel headline-oriented, with tall capitals, firm terminals, and simplified lowercase that echoes the caps’ blocky construction.
This font suits sports identities, team and school branding, jersey-style graphics, and bold poster headlines where impact is the priority. It can also work for retro packaging, badges, and signage that benefit from an engraved or outlined display look.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking classic sports lettering and old-style poster typography. The inline detailing adds a crafted, slightly nostalgic feel—more “printed and stamped” than minimalist—while maintaining a loud, competitive energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a traditional block-letter foundation, enhanced by inline carving to add depth and print-era character. Its consistent angular construction suggests a focus on emblematic, high-impact display settings rather than continuous text.
Numbers and capitals read especially strong due to the angular corners and consistent slab treatment, while smaller sizes will likely emphasize the inline/edge detailing over fine interior shapes. The design’s rigid geometry creates a uniform rhythm that works best when letterforms are allowed breathing room.
