A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions and low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are built from sturdy rectangular structures, with prominent square slabs and frequent chamfered or octagonal corner cuts that give curves a faceted feel. Terminals and serifs are flat and assertive, and the overall rhythm is dense and steady, producing strong dark text color. Counters tend to be compact, with a mostly vertical, straightforward construction that favors clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its dense weight and angular detailing can read clearly, such as posters, sports branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when paired with a calmer text face, bringing a strong, structured accent without relying on high contrast.
The faceted slabs and block construction create a confident, utilitarian tone with a clear collegiate and heritage-signage flavor. It reads as sturdy and no-nonsense, with a slightly mechanical edge that suggests durability and tradition rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through mass, flat slabs, and a distinctive cut-corner geometry, combining traditional slab-serif solidity with a more engineered, faceted silhouette. The consistent angular treatment across letters and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive branding and strong display presence.
The all-caps set is especially geometric and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same slab-driven logic with simplified, sturdy joins. Numerals follow the same faceted, cut-corner vocabulary, reinforcing a consistent, stamped or engraved impression across the character set.
