A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared geometry and prominent, flat-ended serifs. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with crisp interior corners and frequent chamfered or octagonal cuts that give rounds a faceted feel (notably in C, G, O, and numerals). The texture is dense and high-impact, with compact counters and short joins; lowercase shows sturdy, squared shoulders and a single-story-style construction for several forms, maintaining a consistent, machined rhythm across lines.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, labels, and storefront-style signage. It can also support sports or team-inspired branding and rugged packaging, especially where a compact, high-ink silhouette helps words hold together at distance.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, evoking varsity lettering, vintage posters, and utilitarian signage. Its faceted corners and stout serifs read as tough and workmanlike, with a retro American display flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab foundation and deliberately faceted geometry, balancing legibility with a distinctive, chiseled personality for attention-grabbing titles and marks.
The design emphasizes hard stops and sharp terminals rather than softness, making curves feel carved rather than drawn. Numerals match the caps with the same octagonal construction, supporting a cohesive, sign-ready look at larger sizes.
