This typeface uses heavy, squared forms with crisp interior corners and small, wedge-like serifs that read more as sharp terminals than flowing bracketed serifs. Curves are flattened into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving letters like C, O, and S a boxy, engineered silhouette. Stroke joins are hard and angular, with occasional triangular notches and tight counters that add a slightly mechanical, cut-in feeling. Overall spacing and proportions emphasize wide, stable letterforms and strong horizontal structure, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display settings where bold, structured letterforms need to hold attention at a distance. It can also work well for sports- or collegiate-style branding, wayfinding and signage, and packaging that benefits from an industrial or retro-stamped voice.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian tone with clear references to collegiate and industrial lettering. Its blocky shapes and sharp terminals feel authoritative and workmanlike, leaning toward a vintage, signage-forward character rather than a refined book face.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, wide, attention-grabbing display serif with an engineered, squared construction. By combining sharp, beak-like terminals with flattened curves and compact internal spaces, it aims for impact, durability, and a distinctive vintage-signage personality.
The numerals match the squared, modular construction, with rounded-rectangle bowls and firm, straight-sided verticals. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, sturdy rhythm; the lowercase remains robust and graphic, keeping the same squared logic as the caps and maintaining a headline-oriented presence even in running text.
