A heavy, blocky slab serif with squared construction and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-out silhouette. Strokes maintain an even, monoline feel with dense counters and tight apertures, producing a compact, high-impact texture. Serifs are broad and rectangular, often integrated into the stem as blunt terminals, while joins stay crisp and angular with minimal curvature. Numerals and capitals share a uniform, poster-ready weight, and the overall rhythm reads steady and emphatic rather than delicate or calligraphic.
Best suited to headlines, badges, and large-format statements where the chunky slabs and chamfered corners can read clearly. It works well for sports-themed branding, event posters, product packaging, and signage that benefits from an assertive, vintage-industrial tone.
The font projects a bold, collegiate-and-workwear attitude—sturdy, no-nonsense, and deliberately loud. Its squared forms and clipped corners evoke vintage athletic lettering and industrial signage, giving text a confident, slightly rugged character with a retro edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy, squared slab vocabulary, balancing legibility with a distinctive octagonal, machined look. It prioritizes bold presence and thematic character for display typography over subtlety for extended reading.
Many glyphs show consistent corner bevels and straight-sided bowls that emphasize geometry over softness, helping it hold up well at large sizes. The dense interiors and short openings can make long passages feel heavy, but they reinforce the font’s strong headline presence.
