A condensed, all-caps–friendly serif with heavy verticals and crisp, chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Strokes stay largely even in weight with sharp terminals and small wedge-like serifs, while many curves are squared off into faceted bowls and counters. The rhythm is compact and uniform, with tight interior spaces that keep the texture dense and emphatic, especially in uppercase and numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, sports or club identities, and badge-style marks where its compact width and strong silhouette help titles stand out. It can also work for short signage phrases or packaging callouts when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone feels collegiate and emblematic, with a sturdy, no-nonsense presence reminiscent of athletic lettering and traditional signage. Its faceted construction adds a hard-edged, industrial flavor that reads as confident and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient display voice with a carved, faceted construction, balancing traditional serif cues with a geometric, hard-edged finish for emblematic branding and statement typography.
Uppercase forms dominate visually, and the numerals follow the same chamfered, octagonal logic for strong consistency. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense color may reduce clarity, while at display sizes the sharp cuts and angles become a defining feature.
