A sturdy slab-serif design with mostly monoline strokes and blunt, square-ended serifs that read as machined and deliberate. Curves are frequently faceted into octagonal-like arcs, giving rounds (C, O, Q, 0, 8, 9) a beveled, geometric contour rather than smooth bowls. Proportions are compact and slightly boxy, with firm verticals, flat horizontals, and crisp joins; counters tend to feel squared and enclosed. The lowercase mirrors the same angular construction, with a single-storey a and g and a crisp, rectilinear rhythm that stays consistent from caps to numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where the chamfered rounds and slab details are clearly visible, such as headlines, posters, labels, and identity work. Its strong silhouettes and squared counters also make it effective for signage, wayfinding accents, and sports- or team-inspired graphics where a firm, structured voice is desired.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and institutionally confident—part athletic lettering, part engineered signage. The faceted rounds and heavy slabs add a rugged, workmanlike character that can read as vintage, mechanical, and no-nonsense.
Likely designed to combine classic slab-serif sturdiness with a geometric, cut-corner construction that evokes machining and campus/athletic typography. The goal appears to be high-impact readability with a distinctive octagonal texture across letters and figures.
The font’s distinctive signature is its chamfered geometry: corners are clipped and terminals stay flat, which creates a steady, stenciled-adjacent cadence without actual breaks. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, making them particularly cohesive in sets and tabular-looking contexts.
