A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and crisp, angular shaping. Stems are heavy and steady, with compact, beaked/bracketed serifs and frequent chamfered or octagonal corners that give round letters a subtly faceted feel. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and joins stay firm and upright, producing a strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows traditional forms with single-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a short, functional tail on y; numerals are weighty and square-shouldered, with angular terminals that echo the caps.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, collegiate or institutional voice. It can also support editorial titling and pull quotes where a dense, confident serif texture is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone reads collegiate and heritage-minded, with an old-style seriousness that feels institutional and time-tested. Its faceted corners and dense color add a slightly engraved, poster-like character that comes across as confident and authoritative rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with a distinctive, angular finish—evoking classic signage and collegiate lettering while staying readable and typographically grounded. The heavy weight and faceted details suggest it’s built to hold up in impactful settings and reproduce cleanly in bold, high-contrast applications.
The face maintains a consistent, blocky texture across mixed case, and the angular treatment is especially evident in C/G/O/Q and the round parts of 2/3/5/8/9. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortably readable at display-to-subhead sizes, where the strong serifs and contrast remain clear without feeling overly ornate.
