A heavy, angular serif with pronounced chamfered corners and frequent notches that create an octagonal, cut-stone silhouette. Strokes are sturdy and mostly uniform, with crisp joins and flat terminals that read as mechanically carved rather than calligraphic. The caps are wide and commanding, while the lowercase keeps compact counters and squared curves, producing a tight, rhythmic texture in text. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, especially evident in the octagonal ‘0’ and the squared inner forms across rounded figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and a distinctive, chiseled serif character are desired. It works well for sports or collegiate identities, badge-like logos, labels, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, traditional-but-graphic look.
The overall tone feels collegiate and emblematic, with a confident, team-jersey energy and a hint of vintage signage. Its faceted cuts add a crafted, traditional seriousness, making the voice feel assertive and ceremonial rather than casual.
The font appears intended to translate carved, sign-painting, or varsity-inspired letterforms into a consistent digital style, emphasizing strength, legibility at display sizes, and recognizable angular detailing across the set.
The design relies on consistent corner treatments (chamfers and small wedge-like serif cues) that unify both uppercase and lowercase. In longer lines the dense color and angular detailing increase visual presence, favoring display settings over small-size reading.
