A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared forms and clipped, chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette on rounds and diagonals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, and the joins and terminals are flat and deliberate, giving the letters a machined, cut-from-solid feel. Uppercase and numerals read especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same squared logic with simplified, sturdy bowls and shoulders.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and large-format signage where the thick strokes and squared serifs stay readable at a distance. It also fits sports and team branding, apparel graphics, packaging labels, and bold UI callouts that benefit from a tough, compact texture.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, evoking varsity lettering, workwear graphics, and classic display typography used for labels and signage. Its angular shaping and tight counters add a no-nonsense, utilitarian attitude with a distinctly retro American flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a structured, geometric build and confident slab terminals, echoing traditional collegiate and industrial display lettering while remaining straightforward and highly legible at display sizes.
The face favors straight segments over smooth curves, so characters like O/Q/0 appear more faceted than round. The strong slab presence and compact interior spaces increase visual weight quickly, making it most comfortable where clarity and punch matter more than delicate detail.
