A heavy slab-serif display face with broad proportions and compact counters, built from blocky shapes with rounded outer corners. Strokes are emphasized by an inline/knockout treatment that creates a hollowed interior channel, giving each letter a layered, dimensional silhouette. Terminals are mostly squared with sturdy bracket-like joins, and several glyphs show small notches and stepped details that add texture without breaking overall consistency. The lowercase is robust and simplified, with single-story forms where expected and a strong, uniform rhythm that reads cleanly at large sizes.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, badges/patch-style graphics, and packaging where a bold, emblematic look is desired. It can also work for short logo-type wordmarks or section headers when you want a strong, vintage-leaning presence.
The font projects a classic varsity and old-poster energy—confident, loud, and a bit nostalgic. Its inline hollows and chunky slabs suggest signage and lettering traditions, giving it a spirited, celebratory tone suited to bold statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to combine classic slab-serif block lettering with an inline hollow detail to add depth and visual interest. Its consistent, sturdy construction prioritizes impact and recognizability, evoking traditional signage and collegiate-style titling.
The inline knockout remains visible across letters and numerals, creating a strong figure/ground effect that benefits from high contrast backgrounds. Curved characters (like C, G, O, S) keep a rounded, softened perimeter while maintaining the same thick, sign-like weight, helping the set feel cohesive in both caps and lowercase.
