A compact, right-leaning serif with heavy strokes and crisp chamfered corners that create a beveled, cut-out feel. Serifs are short and wedge-like, with many terminals ending in angled facets rather than rounded joins. Counters are tight and geometric, giving letters a blocky silhouette, while capitals stay upright in structure despite the overall slant. Numerals follow the same faceted, clipped construction, producing a consistent, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Works best for headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, and packaging where a compact, high-contrast silhouette is needed at medium-to-large sizes. It also fits sports-themed graphics, vintage-inspired labels, and display typography that benefits from a strong, carved texture. For long text, it’s most effective in short bursts such as pull quotes or section headers.
The faceted italics and sturdy wedges evoke vintage signage and athletic/collegiate lettering, with a slightly mechanical, stamp-like attitude. Its rhythm feels energetic and forward-moving, projecting confidence and punch rather than refinement. Overall it reads as classic-but-tough, suited to bold messaging and period-leaning design.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a bold, space-efficient display face with a distinctive faceted serif construction. The consistent angled clipping and wedge serifs suggest an intention to mimic carved, stamped, or sign-painted forms while keeping the overall texture tight and impactful.
The design relies on repeated angled cuts across stems, bowls, and diagonals, which helps maintain uniformity and a distinctive “chiseled” voice. Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for tight, compact setting, reinforcing the dense, emphatic color in paragraphs and headlines.
