A heavy, expanded display serif with chunky, squared-off construction and prominent notched corners that read almost octagonal in rounds. Serifs are compact and angular, with spur-like joins and forked, beak-shaped terminals that create distinctive mid-stem protrusions on several letters. Curves are minimized into faceted segments, counters are relatively tight, and joins are abrupt, producing a strong, carved-in feel. Proportions are wide with a steady cap height and a workmanlike lowercase that keeps clear, blocky silhouettes rather than delicate modulation.
Best suited to large-scale display uses such as posters, headlines, team or event branding, and bold signage where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging or labels that want a vintage, punchy voice, but it will feel heavy in long passages or at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking classic American sign painting, varsity lettering, and old-time poster typography. Its faceted shapes and spurred terminals add a decorative toughness that feels both nostalgic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a distinctive, ornamental serif treatment—combining wide, blocky proportions with spurred terminals to create a rugged, retro display voice.
The texture in paragraphs is dense and dark, with a strong horizontal presence from the wide set and stout serifs. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, staying compact and highly graphic rather than text-oriented.
