A heavy, slab-serif display face with squared construction and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette in rounds like C, O, and G. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle contrast and pronounced, rectangular serifs that read as bracketless blocks. Terminals often step or notch, giving several letters a slightly stencil-like, machined feel, while counters are compact and geometric. The overall rhythm is tight and sturdy, with a strong baseline and a consistent, engineered texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, rugged texture is desired. It works well for sports identities, vintage-inspired labels, event graphics, and signage that benefits from high visual authority and a machined, geometric look.
The tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling, athletic lettering, and vintage signage. Its sharp corners and chunky slabs convey confidence and durability, with a retro utility character rather than refinement.
The font appears intended as a bold, attention-grabbing slab display with an engineered, chamfered geometry that stays consistent across the set. Its stepped details and compact counters prioritize impact and a distinctive industrial/collegiate flavor in short text.
The design emphasizes angularity over smooth curves, especially in bowls and diagonals, which enhances impact at large sizes. The numerals echo the same chamfered, block-built logic, supporting a cohesive typographic voice in headings and set pieces.
