A very heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared, mostly flat terminals and prominent bracketless serifs. The letterforms lean on straight stems and broad horizontal strokes, with frequent chamfered and clipped corners that create an octagonal, athletic sign-paint feel. Counters are relatively tight and geometric, and the overall silhouette is compact and high-impact, with crisp joins and minimal stroke modulation. Uppercase shapes read especially sturdy and architectural, while lowercase follows the same squared logic with simplified bowls and strong feet.
Best suited to display settings where impact and sturdiness are priorities: sports and school branding, event posters, bold editorial headlines, merch and apparel graphics, and packaging that needs an assertive, structured voice. It also works well for short labels or badges where the angular details can be appreciated.
The font conveys a collegiate, workmanlike tone—bold, no-nonsense, and a bit nostalgic. Its hard corners and weight give it a tough, poster-ready presence associated with uniforms, varsity graphics, and industrial labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif backbone and an angular, cut-corner construction that reads quickly and feels built for emblems, signage, and bold typographic statements.
The clipped corners and squared counters create strong internal shapes that hold up well at display sizes, but can make dense text feel dark in longer passages. Numerals match the same angular construction, reinforcing a cohesive, sign-like rhythm across mixed alphanumerics.
