A decorative serif with tall, condensed proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are sturdy with modest contrast, and terminals are shaped with pronounced chamfers that create an octagonal, beveled look on curves and corners. Serifs are sharp and compact, often wedge-like, giving a carved, inscribed feel rather than a soft bracketed transition. Counters tend to be squarish and tight, and the overall rhythm is crisp and structured, with some variation in glyph widths across the alphabet.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, and logotypes where the beveled, inscribed details can be appreciated. It also fits branding and signage that aim for a traditional or collegiate impression, including sports identity work and emblem-style graphics.
The face projects a collegiate, heritage tone—confident and slightly formal—with an old-fashioned, engraved flavor. Its angular beveling adds a rugged, emblematic character that reads as traditional and authoritative rather than delicate or contemporary.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or engraved lettering through consistent chamfered corners and compact wedge serifs, combining traditional serif structure with a more geometric, emblematic construction for strong display impact.
The chamfered construction is especially noticeable on round forms (like O, C, and numerals), which read as octagonal rather than truly circular. Lowercase forms keep a compact, sturdy feel, and the small x-height relative to ascenders reinforces a classic, display-oriented voice.
