A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared, flat terminals and crisp, chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette on rounds and diagonals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are compact, giving the face a dense, punchy color. Serifs are bold and mostly unbracketed, with short rectangular feet and squared shoulders that emphasize a mechanical, built-from-parts geometry. Overall spacing reads slightly tight in text, reinforcing the solid, poster-oriented presence.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, and identity work that needs immediate impact, especially in sports branding, badges, and bold packaging. It also fits short-form signage and label-style typography where a compact, sturdy texture helps hold attention.
The design projects a rugged, workmanlike confidence with clear collegiate and industrial signage cues. Its angular cuts and dense texture add a tough, no-nonsense tone that feels nostalgic without becoming ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact through blocky slabs and chamfered geometry, balancing legibility with a distinctly constructed, industrial-heritage feel. The consistent, squared finishing and dense counters suggest an intention to perform as a durable display face for assertive messaging.
Uppercase forms are especially commanding, while lowercase retains the same slab-driven construction for consistent texture. Numerals follow the same chamfered geometry, keeping headings and data displays visually unified. The strong interior corners and small apertures suggest best performance at medium to large sizes where the details remain clear.
