A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with mostly uniform stroke weight and squared, flat-ended serifs. The design leans on octagonal geometry: corners are consistently chamfered, and bowls/counters are more rectangular than round, giving letters a cut-from-metal feel. Proportions are expansive with broad capitals, compact inner counters, and a firm, even rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals and capitals read especially stable and sign-like, with clear horizontal slabs and minimal curvature.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and bold packaging. It also works well for short labels and signage where a sturdy, high-impact voice is desirable and the chunky slabs can contribute to legibility at a distance.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking varsity lettering, sports equipment stenciling, and utilitarian signage. Its angular cuts and thick slabs add a rugged, competitive energy that feels distinctly retro while still clean and controlled.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through thick, squared slabs and systematic chamfered corners, creating a compact, architectural silhouette. It prioritizes a strong, emblematic presence over delicate detail, aiming for confident readability in display contexts.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence at larger sizes, with tight-looking apertures and dense color that can become visually heavy in longer passages. The consistent chamfering across joins and terminals is a defining motif, keeping the design cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
