A heavy, block-built slab with squared counters and crisp, chamfered corners that create a notched, cut-from-metal feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as sturdy, rectangular slabs that lock the letterforms into a dense, stable silhouette. Curves are largely flattened into faceted arcs (notably in rounds like O/C/G), giving the design a geometric, machined rhythm. The lowercase follows the same architectural logic, with short, squared terminals and simplified bowls that keep texture bold and even in setting.
Best suited for headlines, short copy, and identity applications where strong silhouettes and a compact, high-ink presence are an advantage. It works particularly well for collegiate/sports branding, patches and badges, storefront or product labeling, and bold packaging statements.
The tone is confident and punchy, evoking vintage athletic lettering and workmanlike signage. Its squared, chiseled details add a rugged, no-nonsense character that feels at home in high-impact headlines and branded marks.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, squared-off construction, combining traditional slab sturdiness with chamfered detailing for a distinctive, vintage-display voice.
The alphabet shows deliberate corner cut-ins and chamfers that help differentiate similar shapes at display sizes while maintaining a cohesive stencil-like solidity. Numerals are equally blocky and prominent, matching the caps’ footprint and reinforcing the font’s poster-forward presence.
