A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared construction and prominent, unbracketed serifs. Corners are frequently chamfered into octagonal cuts, giving round forms like C, O, and Q a faceted silhouette and making counters feel compact and geometric. Strokes are largely monolinear, with flat terminals and sturdy horizontal slabs that create a strong baseline and cap-line presence. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s angular logic, with short ascenders/descenders and dense internal spaces that stay crisp at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where weight and silhouette do the work: sports and collegiate branding, bold posters, attention-grabbing headlines, and rugged packaging or labels. It can also perform well in short signage phrases where its angular counters and strong serifs remain legible and distinctive.
The overall tone is bold and institutional, evoking varsity lettering and utilitarian signage. Its faceted geometry and hard-edged serifs read as tough, mechanical, and slightly vintage, with an energetic, competitive feel when set in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, slabbed structure and faceted geometry, balancing old-style block lettering cues with a clean, repeatable construction. Its consistent chamfers and sturdy slabs suggest a focus on strong recognizability and an authoritative display voice.
Diagonal joins (notably in V, W, X, and Y) are cut with the same chamfered vocabulary as the curves, which keeps the texture consistent. Numerals follow the same octagonal, slabbed approach, producing a cohesive, uniform “stamped” appearance across letters and digits.
