A sturdy slab-serif with largely monolinear strokes and flat, rectangular serifs. Many curves are treated with chamfered, octagonal-style corners, giving round letters like C, O, and S a faceted silhouette rather than a smooth bowl. Proportions are compact and steady, with squared terminals, clear vertical stress, and a consistent, mechanical rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase combines simple, upright forms with strong slab feet and compact joins, producing a dense, sign-ready texture in text.
This font suits bold headings, posters, and signage where a robust slab-serif voice is needed. It also works well for branding and packaging that benefits from a collegiate or industrial flavor, and for short-to-medium text where a firm, structured texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels collegiate and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its faceted curves and heavy slabs suggest an industrial, stamped, or engraved sensibility that reads as retro without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif look with squared, machined-feeling details, balancing readability with a distinctive faceted geometry. Its consistent stroke weight and firm serifs aim for dependable impact in both display settings and compact copy.
Numerals and capitals appear particularly geometric, with angled cut-ins on rounded shapes and squared shoulders that keep counters open at display sizes. In paragraphs, the strong serifs and faceted bowls create a crisp, patterned color that favors clarity over softness.
