A heavy, block-constructed serif with squared counters, softened corners, and distinctive triangular notches that behave like bracketed serifs and cut-in terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear, with broad verticals and flat, squared horizontals that create a sturdy, engineered silhouette. The letterforms favor compact apertures and rectangular bowls (notably in C, G, O, and the numerals), while diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y are sharp and faceted. Lowercase shares the same rugged geometry, with a tall, robust presence and single-storey forms where shown, keeping texture dense and highly graphic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, badges, and logo wordmarks where the notched serif detailing can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and branding systems that want a sturdy, industrial or athletic voice, and works well for numerals in bold labeling or display typography.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, mixing a retro sign-painting and collegiate feel with a machined, contemporary edge. The repeated chamfers and notches add a distinctive, emblem-like character that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a distinctive notched-serif motif, combining traditional serif cues with geometric, constructed shapes. Its goal is likely strong recognizability and a rugged display texture for branding and titling rather than extended reading.
The design’s identity comes from consistent cut-ins at joins and terminals, which create a rhythmic, serrated profile across words. Counters stay relatively squared and enclosed, so spacing can feel tight and massy in longer text, especially at smaller sizes.
