A heavy, block-built slab serif with mostly monoline strokes and pronounced, squared serifs. The forms are constructed from straight segments with clipped, chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette across rounds and bowls. Counters are relatively tight and rectangular, and joins stay firm and geometric, giving the face a compact, engineered rhythm. Uppercase is wide-shouldered and sturdy, while the lowercase follows the same angular logic with simplified curves and strong, square-ended terminals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and display typography where its dense weight and faceted slabs can dominate the page. It fits especially well in sports branding, team or collegiate-inspired graphics, bold packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, architectural presence.
The overall tone feels bold and utilitarian, with a classic athletic/letterman flavor and a hint of industrial signage. Its angular cuts and dense color convey toughness and confidence, reading as vintage and workwear-inspired rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a geometric, slab-supported structure, combining old-school athletic letterforms with a hard-edged, industrial finish. The consistent chamfered construction suggests an emphasis on reproducible, sign-friendly shapes and a strong, uniform texture at display sizes.
Round letters like O/Q and curved strokes throughout are consistently faceted instead of smooth, helping maintain a uniform, machined look. Numerals match the uppercase in weight and geometry, with squared interior shapes and clipped corners that keep the set cohesive.
