A heavy, block-built slab serif with largely uniform stroke weight and emphatic, square-ended serifs. Many curves are simplified into chamfered, octagonal forms, giving rounds like O, C, and G a faceted silhouette. Counters are compact and rectangular-leaning, joins are crisp, and terminals tend to finish with flat cuts or angled notches that reinforce a machined, sign-painted feel. The lowercase follows the same sturdy construction, with a single-storey a and g and a prominent, footed rhythm throughout.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where its strong slabs and faceted shapes can carry impact—headlines, badges, team or club branding, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also work for pull quotes and section headers when a rugged, traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a classic collegiate and workwear sensibility. Its faceted geometry and strong slabs read as tough, traditional, and slightly vintage—suggesting athletic identity systems, stamped lettering, and utilitarian branding.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic slab-serif authority while introducing a distinctive octagonal, beveled construction that improves punch and recognizability at display sizes. Its consistent, engineered corner treatment suggests an intention to feel both traditional and mechanically precise.
The design’s consistent chamfering creates a distinctive texture in text, where diagonals and inside corners become a repeating motif. Numerals are equally blocky and display-oriented, matching the uppercase’s architectural presence and making the set feel cohesive in headings and labels.
