A compact, blocky slab serif with heavy strokes and crisp, unbracketed joins. Letterforms are constructed from straight segments and flattened curves, creating an octagonal, cut-corner silhouette throughout. Serifs are short and rectangular, with squared terminals and minimal modulation, producing a firm, poster-like texture. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are restrained, giving the face a dense rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
This font is best suited to short-form display work where its dense texture and cut-corner geometry can carry impact—posters, headline systems, badges, team or event graphics, packaging labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can work for brief text blocks at larger sizes, but the tight counters and heavy slabs favor titles over long reading.
The overall tone is sturdy and workmanlike, with a clear nod to vintage signage and athletic lettering. Its angular cuts and heavy slabs add a rugged, no-nonsense character that feels at home in Americana and industrial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a tough, traditional slab-serif voice with an angular, machined finish. By combining compact proportions with unbracketed slabs and chamfered corners, it aims for immediate visibility and a recognizable, heritage-inspired display identity.
Caps read especially strong and uniform, with a classic collegiate presence. The lowercase keeps the same squared, carved construction, which reinforces the font’s distinctive texture in continuous text. Numerals match the angular, cut-corner logic, supporting bold, attention-grabbing setting in headlines and labels.
