A heavy display serif with squarish, octagonal construction and clipped corners throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform, with crisp, straight terminals and small wedge-like serifs that read as cut-in facets rather than flowing brackets. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and many glyphs feature notched or beveled details that create a stamped, machined feel. Overall proportions run broad and sturdy, with a rhythm of hard angles and flat horizontals that keeps the texture dense in text.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouette and dense color are desirable: posters, headlines, team and event branding, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It works particularly well at medium to large sizes where the bevels, notches, and tight counters remain clear and contribute to the intended rugged texture.
The font projects a tough, high-impact tone with strong associations to varsity lettering, old-style posters, and rugged signage. Its faceted cuts and blocky silhouettes feel confident and utilitarian, leaning more toward bold statement than refinement.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms through a geometric, chamfered lens, emphasizing punchy readability and a crafted, cut-from-solid look. Its consistent corner clipping and wedge-like serifs suggest a goal of evoking vintage display typography used for sport, commerce, and bold poster work.
The lowercase maintains the same carved, angular logic as the uppercase, with single-storey forms and prominent corner cuts that reinforce a consistent display personality. Numerals are equally blocky and sign-like, prioritizing presence and uniform color over delicate differentiation.
