A heavy, block-built serif with square, unbracketed slabs and a distinctly chamfered, octagonal contour. Strokes are thick and even, terminals are blunt, and counters tend toward rectangular or squared-off forms, producing a compact, high-impact texture. The capitals read wide and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same angular vocabulary with sturdy stems and tight apertures; figures follow the same clipped-corner geometry for a consistent, sign-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display settings where strong presence is needed—sports branding, team or campus materials, event posters, labels, and bold packaging. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but its dense, angular texture is most effective at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, combining a classic collegiate/athletic poster feel with an industrial, workwear directness. Its sharp corners and dense color convey strength and authority rather than delicacy or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, classic slab-serif voice with a distinctive clipped-corner silhouette, optimized for bold display typography and branding that needs to feel strong, traditional, and immediately legible.
The chamfered corners are a defining motif across letters and numerals, giving the face a stamped or cut-out impression. In text, the weight and squared detailing create a firm, emphatic word shape that prioritizes impact and recognizability over softness.
