A heavy, squared slab serif with a distinctly chamfered, octagonal construction. Strokes are largely even in thickness, with flat, blocky serifs and frequent clipped corners that create a machined look. Counters tend toward rectangular forms with softened angles, and curves are interpreted as faceted arcs (notably in C, G, O, and 0). The lowercase keeps a sturdy, compact rhythm with single-story a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and wide internal apertures that help maintain clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and poster typography where a bold, structured voice is needed. It also fits sports and team-style branding, labels and packaging that want a rugged stamp aesthetic, and signage or wayfinding that benefits from blocky shapes and stable letterforms.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and assertive, like lettering cut from metal or stamped into equipment. Its faceted geometry and chunky slabs evoke vintage athletic and collegiate signage, while the crisp corners and steady weight add a technical, engineered character.
The design appears intended to translate slab-serif sturdiness into a faceted, square-shouldered system that reads as tough and engineered. By clipping corners and keeping stroke weight steady, it aims for a consistent, impactful texture that holds up in large-scale applications.
Numerals are strongly geometric and sign-like (0 as an octagon, 2 and 3 with squared bowls, 4 with a sturdy open form). Diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y stay straight and rigid, reinforcing the angular theme. The texture in paragraphs is dense and high-impact, favoring short lines, headings, and emphatic statements over delicate reading settings.
