A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, flat-ended strokes and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette in bowls and counters. Stems are straight and uniform, with broad, rectangular serifs that read as integrated extensions rather than delicate brackets. Curves are minimized and corners are clipped, producing compact apertures and sturdy interior shapes; the lowercase follows the same angular construction with a robust, workmanlike rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel especially architectural, with consistent stroke weight and crisp terminals that emphasize impact over softness.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its dense weight and angular slabs can project authority and character. It works particularly well for varsity-inspired identities, event posters, bold packaging, and signage that needs immediate legibility and a rugged, traditional flavor.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking classic collegiate lettering and old poster wood-type energy at the same time. Its angular cuts and dense black presence give it a tough, no-nonsense voice suited to labels, teams, and signage. The feel is nostalgic and rugged rather than refined, with a confident, attention-grabbing stance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a simplified, geometric slab construction, using chamfered corners and squared terminals to signal tradition, strength, and utility. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent structure for high-contrast applications like posters, marks, and large-type settings.
The repeated beveling on outside corners and the squared serifs create a distinctive stenciled/engraved-like geometry without visible breaks. Tight counters and strong verticals help it hold shape at distance, while the mixed-case set maintains a consistent, disciplined structure that favors display sizes.
