A decorative serif with monoline construction and a strongly angular, chamfered outline language. Curves are largely replaced by faceted, octagonal turns and clipped corners, giving rounds like O, C, and G a squared-off, beveled feel. Serifs are wedge-like and pointed, with crisp terminals and abrupt joins that create a carved, engraved impression. Proportions are sturdy and compact with consistent stroke thickness, producing a dark, even texture in text while preserving sharp interior counters and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where the angular, chamfered details can be appreciated. It fits especially well in sports and collegiate branding, venue or storefront signage, and packaging that wants a classic-yet-cut-metal feel. In longer text it can work at larger sizes where the faceting remains legible and intentional.
The overall tone feels collegiate and heritage-driven, with a confident, emblematic presence that reads like carved signage or classic team lettering. Its faceted edges and pointed serifs add a slightly industrial, metal-cut mood, balancing tradition with a crisp, engineered sharpness.
Likely designed to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms through a faceted, incised construction, emphasizing sharp terminals and beveled corners for a carved, emblem-ready look. The consistent monoline strokes and repeated chamfers suggest an intention to maintain strong cohesion across the character set while delivering a distinctive decorative texture.
The design relies on consistent corner clipping across both uppercase and lowercase, which creates a unified rhythm and distinctive sparkle at small angles. Numerals follow the same beveled geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented personality.
