A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared-off strokes and prominent, unbracketed slabs. Curves are largely engineered into flattened, octagonal forms—most evident in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals—giving the face a machined, cut-corner look. Proportions are compact with a relatively tall x-height, wide internal counters, and strong verticals; joins and terminals land cleanly on a rigid grid, producing consistent rhythm in text. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase geometry, with sturdy stems, short extenders, and a single-storey a that reinforces the utilitarian, display-first construction.
Best suited to display sizes where its cut-corner shapes and slab terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, sports and collegiate branding, and bold signage. It also performs well for short blocks of emphasis text, badges, labels, and packaging where an authoritative, vintage-industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and institutional, evoking classic collegiate lettering and workwear-era signage. Its dense weight and squared geometry read as tough and dependable, with a vintage, no-nonsense personality that feels at home on uniforms, posters, and labels.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a structured, square-built skeleton: a slab serif that merges collegiate tradition with an engineered, octagonal detailing for strong legibility and a rugged, emblematic presence.
The face maintains a tight, disciplined texture in paragraphs, where the squared counters and heavy slabs create a strong horizontal banding. Numerals share the same cut-corner construction, lending consistency for headlines, scoreboards, and bold informational settings.
