A compact slab-serif design with sturdy, rectangular serifs and predominantly straight-sided stems. Curves are treated with faceted, octagonal shaping—especially visible in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals—creating crisp corner transitions instead of smooth rounds. Stroke modulation is minimal, with a consistent, sturdy rhythm and clear, square-ended terminals. Counters are relatively tight and the overall fit is economical, giving lines a dense, newspaper-like texture while keeping letterforms distinct.
Best suited to display contexts where its compact slabs and faceted curves can add character—headlines, posters, sports/club identities, and bold packaging typography. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable.
The face projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with a collegiate and industrial edge. Its angular rounding and firm slabs add a slightly vintage, workwear character—more sign-painter and varsity than delicate book serif—while remaining straightforward and readable.
The design appears intended to combine the solidity of slab serifs with a crisp, machined angularity, offering a vintage-leaning display voice that stays practical and legible. The consistent faceting across letters and numerals suggests a focus on uniformity and strong, stamp-like impact in larger sizes.
Uppercase forms feel tall and structured with strong horizontals on E/F/T and a stable, symmetrical build on H/M/N/W. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, upright texture with robust serifs and compact joins; the faceting in bowls and curves carries consistently through to figures, reinforcing a cohesive, stamped or cut-letter impression.
