A compact, block-built slab serif with heavy, uniform stroke weight and squared-off terminals. The forms lean on straight segments and chamfered corners, producing an octagonal rhythm in rounds like C, O, and G. Counters are small and rectangular, with tight apertures and strong vertical emphasis; joins and notches read crisp and mechanical. Lowercase echoes the same geometry with sturdy stems and short, squared serifs, while the numerals follow the same cut-corner construction for a cohesive, sign-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its chunky slabs and chamfered geometry can read as a graphic element. It also fits logos, team or club branding, merchandise, and label/packaging systems that want a sturdy, vintage-industrial feel.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, mixing collegiate poster energy with a rugged, workwear practicality. Its sharp corners and compact counters give it a tough, authoritative voice that feels at home in sports, packaging, and heritage-inspired branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, carved-in geometry—combining slab serif structure with cut corners and squared counters to create a bold, emblematic texture for display typography.
The heavy weight and angular detailing create a dark color on the page, especially in longer text. The distinctive chamfers and squared counters make the design highly characteristic, but also reduce openness in smaller sizes where interior spaces may fill in visually.
