A sturdy slab-serif with squared, chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-in silhouette on curves and joins. Strokes are largely even in thickness, with broad, flat serifs and blunt terminals that keep letterforms compact and mechanical. Counters tend toward rectangular and faceted shapes, and the overall rhythm feels structured and slightly condensed in the joins, producing a crisp, modular texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where its bold slabs and faceted forms can read clearly at a distance. It also fits packaging and branding that aim for a vintage-industrial or collegiate feel, and can work for short passages where a strong, structured texture is desired.
The faceted slabs and hard corners give the face a confident, workmanlike tone with a collegiate and vintage sign-painter vibe. It reads as practical and no-nonsense, with a hint of varsity lettering and old industrial labeling.
The design appears intended to translate traditional slab-serif structure into a more geometric, cut-corner construction, emphasizing durability and clarity. Its consistent stroke weight and crisp chamfers suggest a focus on impactful display typography with a classic, utilitarian character.
In the sample text, the angular shaping is especially noticeable on round letters and numerals, where curves are approximated by straight segments and clipped corners. The heavier serifs and tight interior angles create a strong pattern at display sizes, while the dense black texture can build quickly in longer lines.
