A heavy, block-forward slab serif with squared curves and flat, squared-off terminals throughout. Strokes are monolinear with minimal contrast, and corners are mostly crisp, with only slight rounding where counters turn. The uppercase forms feel wide and stable with prominent slab feet, while the lowercase is compact and sturdy, using single-storey shapes (notably for a and g) and short, squared apertures. Numerals are boxy and utilitarian, matching the same rectilinear rhythm and strong baseline presence.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, badges, and product labels where strong shapes and firm serifs help hold attention. It can also work for signage and packaging that benefit from a robust, retro-industrial voice.
The tone is tough and workmanlike, with a vintage signage energy that reads confident and no-nonsense. Its squared geometry and sturdy slabs suggest utility, durability, and a slightly industrial, collegiate attitude rather than delicacy or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual solidity and legibility with a squared slab-serif structure, echoing vintage print and signage conventions. Its consistent, blocky construction prioritizes firmness and clarity in display-driven typography.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q take on a squarish silhouette, giving the font a distinctive engineered feel. Spacing appears even and deliberate, supporting dense setting while maintaining clear letter separation in the sample text.
