A sturdy slab-serif with squared, chamfered corners that give many curves an octagonal silhouette. Strokes stay largely uniform, with assertive, blocky serifs and flat terminals that create a crisp, machined rhythm. Uppercase forms feel compact and structural, while lowercase keeps clear, straightforward construction with simple joins and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same angular logic, emphasizing straight segments and clipped corners for a consistent, hard-edged texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short-to-medium passages where a strong, structured serif can carry tone without ornament. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and packaging that benefit from a durable, technical look and clear character shapes.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic collegiate/industrial flavor. Its clipped corners and firm slabs suggest signage, stamped lettering, and practical print—functional rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to merge traditional slab-serif solidity with a squared, engineered edge, creating a dependable display-to-text face that feels bold in silhouette while remaining readable in continuous setting.
The angular treatment is most noticeable on traditionally round letters, where the corners are cut to maintain a squared geometry. Spacing appears even and the design reads cleanly at text sizes, producing a steady, slightly rugged color on the page.
