A blocky slab-serif design with heavy, uniform strokes and sharply chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette across rounds like O, C, and G. Serifs are broad and square, with flat terminals and a consistent, engineered rhythm that stays crisp in both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase is compact with sturdy verticals and simple joins, while figures are similarly squared-off and built for strong presence. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, emphasizing impact and legibility at larger sizes.
This font suits headlines, posters, team or collegiate branding, and bold labels where a strong, block-printed presence is needed. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from an industrial, stamped look and clear letterforms at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, evoking signage, varsity lettering, and utilitarian printing. Its angular cuts and solid slabs give it a tough, no-nonsense voice that reads as classic and slightly retro without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, constructed feel, using squared slabs and chamfered corners to maintain clarity while adding a distinctive, machined character.
Diagonal elements (V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable, and the chamfering is applied consistently enough to feel like a defining motif rather than incidental rounding. The bold slabs and compact spacing create a strong texture in paragraphs, favoring display and short blocks of text over airy, delicate settings.
