A sturdy slab-serif with squared-off construction and crisp, bracketless serifs. Strokes are largely monolinear, with a firm horizontal/vertical rhythm and minimal modulation. Many curves are expressed as faceted or chamfered forms—most evident in rounded letters and the numerals—giving counters an octagonal, engineered feel. The lowercase is compact and workmanlike, with simple terminals and a steady baseline presence; overall spacing reads even and practical in text.
Well-suited to headlines and short text where its square slabs and chamfered geometry can read as a deliberate style choice. It works especially well for signage, posters, sports/collegiate branding, packaging, and logos that benefit from a rugged, engineered voice.
The face conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone with hints of collegiate and vintage signage. Its faceted rounds and square slabs feel mechanical and dependable, suggesting ruggedness and clarity rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif solidity with a squared, machined geometry, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent rhythm for impactful display typography that remains readable in straightforward text settings.
Rounded capitals like C, G, O, and Q lean toward polygonal outlines, which reinforces a technical, stamped aesthetic. Numerals echo the same geometry, with strong corners and open, legible counters that stay clear at display sizes.
