A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad, square proportions and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes terminate in flat, rectangular slabs and many joins are chamfered, producing an octagonal silhouette throughout (notably in O, C, G, and the numerals). The rhythm is compact and steady, with minimal stroke modulation and a strong, uniform color on the page. Lowercase maintains the same rugged geometry as the caps, with short, sturdy serifs and squared shoulders that keep texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, compact slab serif can deliver immediate impact. It works especially well for collegiate or team identities, bold signage, and packaging or labels that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice.
The overall tone feels tough, traditional, and high-impact, evoking varsity lettering and old poster typography with a no-nonsense, workmanlike presence. Its angular cuts add a subtly decorative edge that reads as retro and slightly rugged rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident display slab with rugged, squared detailing and consistent density, prioritizing punchy readability and a distinctive octagonal construction across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The letterforms are designed to hold up at display sizes where the chamfered corners and dense counters become a defining detail. Numerals echo the same octagonal logic, reinforcing a cohesive, sign-like character across alphanumerics.
