A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with crisp, chamfered corners and squared-off terminals throughout. Strokes maintain a largely consistent thickness, with short, sturdy slabs and minimal bracketing, producing a firm, architectural silhouette. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and the overall rhythm is compact, with angular joins and clipped diagonals that give many letters an octagonal feel. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s mechanical geometry, with a stout, uniform texture in running text and clear, simplified numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a sturdy, high-impact voice is needed. It works particularly well for collegiate or team identities, product packaging with a rugged tone, and signage that benefits from bold, geometric letterforms.
The face conveys a classic varsity and workwear attitude—confident, tough, and slightly nostalgic. Its sharp chamfers and dense color read as utilitarian and authoritative, with a sports-signage energy that feels at home on bold statements and branded marks.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, easily recognizable slab-serif presence with a distinctive chamfered, square-built construction. It prioritizes punchy silhouettes and consistent texture, aiming for an assertive display voice rooted in traditional poster and collegiate typographic cues.
In text, the compact apertures and strong, repetitive forms create a dark, even typographic color, especially at smaller sizes. The angular construction is consistent across letters and figures, making it visually cohesive for display settings and short blocks of copy where impact is prioritized over airiness.
