A blocky slab-serif with squared, chamfered corners and a distinctly angular, almost octagonal construction. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with short, bracketless slabs and straight terminals that create a stenciled, machined rhythm without actual breaks. Counters are compact and geometric (notably in O, Q, and numerals), and joins stay crisp and orthogonal, giving the face a dense, sign-like color. Lowercase forms are sturdy and straightforward, with minimal modulation and a pragmatic, constructed feel that keeps texture even in longer lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-scale typographic moments where its blocky slabs and angular counters can deliver strong presence. It also fits sports branding, badges, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, heritage-leaning voice, and it can work for short signage or labels where quick recognition and weighty emphasis are needed.
The overall tone is collegiate and workmanlike, projecting strength and durability with a slight vintage, print-shop edge. Its squared features and hard angles read as confident and no-nonsense, evoking uniforms, equipment маркировка, and heritage sports branding rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, high-impact slab-serif with an angular, engineered geometry—optimized for attention-grabbing display use and a classic collegiate/industrial flavor.
The numeral set matches the angular language closely, with squared bowls and cut corners that stay consistent across figures. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain thick and assertive, and the face maintains a tight, compact presence that favors impact over airiness.
