A condensed, dark serif with sharply chamfered corners and wedge-like terminals that give many strokes an octagonal, cut-block silhouette. Stems are sturdy and straight, with compact bowls and tight internal counters, producing a dense rhythm in text. Serifs read as clipped, triangular wedges rather than smooth brackets, and many joins are squared off, reinforcing the engineered, sign-paint-like structure. Numerals and capitals share the same angular logic, with prominent faceting on curves and corners.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or campus-style branding, and logo wordmarks where the angular serifs can read clearly. It can also suit packaging or label work that benefits from a sturdy, traditional-meets-industrial display serif, while extended body text may appear very dark and tight.
The overall tone is athletic and institutional, with a strong, declarative presence that feels suited to headlines and emblems. Its chiseled detailing adds a slightly vintage, industrial edge, balancing tradition with a decorative toughness.
The design appears intended to evoke a collegiate or heritage display serif through condensed proportions and assertive wedge terminals, while adding decorative faceting to make the letterforms feel carved and emblematic. The consistent chamfering across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a focus on bold signage and branding coherence.
In longer lines the heavy color and condensed spacing create a continuous texture, while the faceted corners help maintain crispness at display sizes. The lowercase keeps the same carved geometry as the caps, giving mixed-case settings a uniform, blocky character rather than a calligraphic feel.
