A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and clearly bracketless, square-ended serifs. Many joins and curves are cut into faceted, octagonal shapes, giving counters and outside contours a machined, geometric feel. Proportions are compact with wide, stable capitals and straightforward lowercase forms; spacing appears even and the rhythm is strongly horizontal due to the substantial serifs and flat terminals. Numerals and caps share the same chunky, cut-corner construction, maintaining a consistent, high-impact texture in text.
Well-suited to sports branding, team apparel graphics, and bold editorial headlines where a sturdy, classic impact is needed. It also fits packaging and labels aiming for an industrial or heritage feel, as well as signage and wayfinding that benefit from strong, squared silhouettes.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, with a collegiate and workmanlike character. Its angular cuts and stout slabs evoke vintage athletic lettering, signage, and durable printed matter, projecting strength and straightforwardness more than refinement.
Likely designed to deliver a strong slab-serif voice with faceted, cut-corner geometry that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The emphasis appears to be on solidity, legibility at larger sizes, and a familiar collegiate/sign-painter presence rather than delicate detail.
Diagonal strokes are simplified and squared off, and rounded letters read as polygonal rather than truly circular, which increases presence at display sizes. The lowercase retains robust serifs and a firm baseline, helping it hold up in short text while remaining visually emphatic.
