A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared, octagonal curves and a crisp, poster-like silhouette. Strokes are generally straight and sturdy, with small chamfered corners that give round letters an angular, cut-from-metal feel. Serifs are robust and rectangular, often slightly bracketed into stems, creating a tight, compact rhythm. Counters tend to be squarish and enclosed, and many joins show subtle notches and wedge-like cut-ins that read like engineered ink-trap details at display sizes.
This font excels in large sizes where its angular cuts and sturdy slabs can read clearly and add character—ideal for headlines, posters, team or event branding, and bold packaging labels. It also suits signage and short bursts of text where a strong, industrial-collegiate voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, blending a vintage collegiate presence with an industrial, machined edge. It feels tough and practical rather than refined, projecting confidence and impact for attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, engineered geometry: strong slabs for authority, chamfered corners for a distinctive silhouette, and sturdy proportions that hold up in punchy display settings.
Uppercase forms skew squarer than typical slabs, with visibly chamfered shoulders and corners on letters like C, G, O, and S. Lowercase maintains the same hard-edged logic, and the numerals are similarly cut and substantial, with angular bowls and firm terminals that keep a consistent, stamped look across the set.
