A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared proportions and crisp, chamfered corners that give many glyphs an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick, with flat terminals and stout slab feet that read as carved or stamped rather than drawn. Counters are compact and often rectangular, creating strong figure–ground contrast, while the overall rhythm stays steady through broad, upright shapes and tight interior space. Numerals and capitals feel particularly sturdy, with squared shoulders and minimal curvature throughout.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, badges, and logo marks where its dense color and angular slabs can read clearly. It also works well for sports branding and packaging that benefits from a tough, heritage-inflected voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a vintage, collegiate edge. Its angular cuts and compact counters suggest signage, team lettering, and old-style print ephemera, projecting confidence and durability rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, unmistakable presence using a rigid, chamfered slab structure—optimized for display settings where strong geometry and a compact interior build instant recognition.
Lowercase forms echo the uppercase construction, keeping the same chiseled geometry and sturdy slab accents. The design favors blunt joins and clipped curves, producing a consistent, mechanical texture at display sizes.
