A condensed, heavy slab-serif with squared, chamfered corners that give many glyphs an octagonal, sign-painted silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals end in blunt slabs that read as sturdy and utilitarian. Counters are relatively tight and rectangular, and the overall rhythm is compact and vertical, producing strong word shapes at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same block-built logic, with firm vertical stems and clipped joins, and the numerals share the same squared construction for a uniform, poster-ready set.
Best suited for headlines, posters, badges, and identity work where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports and varsity-style branding, product packaging, signage, and merch graphics that benefit from a tough, blocky presence. For extended reading, it will perform better at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font projects a bold, collegiate-and-workwear attitude with a distinctly vintage, Americana flavor. Its hard-edged slabs and clipped corners feel assertive and functional, evoking sports lettering, old posters, and rugged branding. The tone is confident and straightforward rather than refined or delicate.
The likely intention is to deliver a compact, high-visibility slab-serif that retains a vintage, poster-like character through chamfered geometry and blunt terminals. Its construction prioritizes bold presence, consistency, and immediate recognizability in display settings.
The design relies on consistent corner chamfers and flat slab endings to create cohesion across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. In longer text the dense color and narrow set emphasize impact over comfort, making it best suited to short bursts where the strong geometry can lead.
