A heavy, block-driven serif with crisp, faceted corners and squared slab endings that read like cut or chamfered forms. Strokes are low-contrast and mostly uniform, with compact counters and sturdy, rectangular joins that keep the letterforms dense and stable. The geometry favors straight segments and clipped curves, giving round letters a polygonal silhouette; spacing feels slightly tight in places, contributing to a packed, poster-ready color. Numerals match the same octagonal, cut-corner logic for a consistent, hard-edged texture.
Best suited to display applications where its dense weight and faceted detailing can read clearly: headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and brand marks with a sturdy, traditional feel. It also fits packaging and labels that benefit from a vintage, industrial, or collegiate voice.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, evoking traditional signage, collegiate lettering, and vintage packaging. Its chiseled edges add a crafted, rugged flavor—more utilitarian than elegant—while remaining highly legible and emphatic.
The design appears intended to modernize classic slab-serif sturdiness with a geometric, cut-corner treatment, producing a strong, memorable texture for attention-grabbing typography. The consistent faceting across letters and numbers suggests a focus on cohesive impact in short phrases and branding contexts.
Uppercase forms lean toward a uniform, monoline construction with strong slab presence, while lowercase retains the same angular DNA, producing a cohesive texture across mixed-case settings. The faceting is a defining motif across curves, diagonals, and terminals, creating a distinctive stamped/engraved impression at display sizes.
