A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared, flat-ended terminals and pronounced right-angle geometry. Many curves are intentionally faceted into octagonal shapes, giving rounds like O/C/G/0 and 8 a cut-corner look. Strokes are thick and even, with compact interior counters and sturdy slab feet; joins and notches create an ink-trap-like ruggedness in places. Overall spacing reads steady and mechanical, supporting dense setting without losing the letterforms’ structural clarity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where bold, structured letterforms need to carry from a distance. It also fits sports and collegiate identities, labels and packaging, and straightforward signage that benefits from strong, slab-based silhouettes.
The style projects a collegiate and workmanlike tone—assertive, dependable, and a bit retro. Its chiseled corners and chunky slabs evoke uniforms, signage, and stamped lettering, balancing friendliness with toughness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, geometric build—combining slab serif authority with cut-corner rounding for a distinctive, rugged voice. It prioritizes recognizability and presence in display sizes while keeping a consistent, no-nonsense rhythm across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms lean toward athletic block lettering, while the lowercase keeps the same square, slab-driven logic, resulting in a consistent, strongly typographic texture. Numerals are similarly angular and weighty, suited to prominent display use.
