A compact, heavy serif with squared proportions, rounded-rectangle counters, and a distinctly chiseled, beveled feel. Strokes stay largely monoline while terminals and corners introduce crisp notches and wedge-like flares that read as stylized serifs rather than full slabs. The curves are restrained and often squared-off, giving letters like C, O, and S a blocky, engineered silhouette. Numerals follow the same geometry, with strong, squared bowls and sharp cut-ins that keep the overall texture dense and punchy.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display typography where its dense weight and carved details can be appreciated—posters, sports or team branding, product packaging, and bold logotypes. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when a strong, vintage-leaning voice is desired, but the heavy texture may feel overpowering in long text.
The font conveys a tough, assertive tone with a retro display character, evoking athletic/collegiate signage and mid-century headline styling. Its sharp cuts and flared terminals add a dramatic, crafted impression—confident and slightly industrial rather than delicate or bookish.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through compact, squared forms and decorative flared terminals, combining traditional serif cues with a machined, beveled construction. The intent appears to be a distinctive display face that remains highly legible while projecting a strong, emblematic presence.
Spacing and shapes create a dark, even typographic color, especially in all-caps settings, while the distinctive notches and flares help maintain letter identity at larger sizes. The lowercase appears built from the same blocky, squared construction as the uppercase, reinforcing a consistent, poster-oriented rhythm.
