A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared-off corners and consistent stroke weight throughout. The forms are built from straight segments and clipped angles, producing octagonal counters and flat, rectangular terminals rather than curved joins. Serifs read as bold, unbracketed slabs that integrate tightly with the stems, creating a compact, sturdy texture with strong vertical emphasis and minimal modulation. Numerals and capitals share the same angular logic, yielding a cohesive, poster-ready rhythm with dense, dark color on the page.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and team-style branding, bold labels, and signage. It can work for short subheads or callouts in layouts that benefit from a strong, condensed-feeling texture, but its dense shapes suggest using generous spacing and avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking varsity lettering, packaging stamps, and industrial signage. Its angular cuts and chunky slabs convey toughness and confidence, with a slightly nostalgic, old-school display feel rather than a refined editorial voice.
Designed to deliver maximum visual authority through square geometry, heavy slabs, and minimal contrast. The clipped corners and rigid construction emphasize legibility-by-mass and a rugged, workmanlike character tailored to attention-grabbing typographic statements.
Counters tend to be squarish and relatively tight, which increases visual weight and punch at larger sizes. The angular cut-ins and straight-sided bowls create a mechanical regularity that keeps lines of text looking uniform and emphatic.
