A heavy, slab-serif design with bracketed, blocky serifs and subtly chamfered corners that give many strokes an octagonal, cut-in look. Stems are robust and largely vertical, with a noticeable but controlled contrast between main strokes and connecting diagonals, and a rhythm that feels compact and emphatic. Counters are moderately open, while joins and terminals show small notches and bevel-like shaping that adds a carved, stamped character. The lowercase follows the same sturdy construction with short, square-ended extenders and a sturdy, workmanlike texture in running text.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and signage where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It also fits sports and collegiate branding, vintage-inspired packaging, and bold editorial callouts where a rugged slab-serif voice supports the message.
The overall tone is confident and assertive, recalling collegiate lettering and vintage poster typography with a slightly frontier or workwear edge. Its sharp, chiseled details add a tough, no-nonsense feel that reads as traditional and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif foundation with extra bite through chamfered corners and carved-like detailing, creating a sturdy display face that maintains clarity while projecting a bold, traditional personality.
The numerals and capitals share consistent faceting and slab treatment, producing a strong, uniform color on the page. The distinctive corner cutting and occasional inward notches help keep heavy forms from feeling overly blunt, especially at larger sizes and in display settings.
