A heavy, angular display serif with squared-off geometry and crisp chamfered corners. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and many terminals finish in small wedge-like, cut-in serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Counters are compact and squarish, creating dense color and strong silhouette clarity. The lowercase is robust and tall, with simple two-storey-free forms and a sturdy, monoline rhythm; details like the angled joints and notched corners keep the texture lively in setting. Numerals match the same blocky construction, maintaining consistent weight and presence.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, signage, and branding where impact and a vintage edge are desired. It can also work for sports or event identity, packaging, and logotypes that benefit from dense, blocky letterforms and carved-looking serifs.
The overall tone is loud and declarative, with a vintage, sign-painting/collegiate swagger. Its chiseled, cut-corner detailing evokes old posters and engraved lettering, projecting toughness and confidence rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through bold massing and chiseled, decorative serif cuts, balancing simple block construction with enough corner detailing to feel custom and emblematic. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and period flavor for attention-grabbing display use.
The face relies on distinctive corner cuts and interior notches to create character at display sizes; at smaller sizes those details may visually merge, increasing the already dark texture. The design’s strong rectangular proportions and compact counters make it especially impactful in all-caps lines and short emphatic phrases.
