A heavy, angular serif with crisp, beveled joins and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-in feel across rounds and diagonals. Strokes are largely monolinear with squared terminals, and the serifs read as short, sharp wedges—often with subtle bracketing—giving the shapes an engraved, constructed look. Counters are compact and geometric; curves are consistently flattened, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel steep and tightly controlled. Lowercase forms are sturdy and upright with pronounced feet and occasional notches, producing a firm, blocky rhythm in text.
This design suits sports and collegiate branding, team marks, and identity systems that need a traditional, badge-like voice. It performs best in headlines, posters, and short emphatic lines where its angular detailing and dense color can read as intentional character. It can also work for signage or packaging that aims for a heritage, crafted impression.
The overall tone is collegiate and traditional, with a confident, no-nonsense presence that evokes uniforms, badges, and heritage signage. Its chiseled details add a slightly industrial, stamped quality, balancing formality with ruggedness.
The letterforms appear designed to translate classic serif structure into a more constructed, faceted style—prioritizing bold silhouettes, sharp corners, and an engraved/inscribed flavor. The consistent chamfering and wedge serifs suggest an intention to evoke institutional tradition while adding a distinctive decorative edge for display use.
Uppercase letters show strongly squared bowls and clipped terminals (notably in C, G, O, Q), while numerals adopt the same octagonal construction for clear, emblematic figures. The texture in paragraphs is dense and emphatic, favoring impact over delicacy, with distinctive silhouettes that remain consistent across the set.
