A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with square, unbracketed joins and strongly rectilinear contours. Strokes are thick and even, with corners frequently clipped or notched, creating a chiseled silhouette and occasional ink-trap-like cut-ins at interior joins. Counters are generally tight and squarish, and terminals are flat, reinforcing a compact, sign-painterly rhythm. Uppercase forms feel tall and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps the same block logic with simplified, upright shapes and minimal modulation.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging labels, and signage where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports and team branding, as well as retro-inspired display typography for events, merchandise, and editorial pull quotes.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, combining a vintage poster sensibility with a sporty, collegiate punch. Its squared serifs and notched details give it a rugged, utilitarian character that reads as bold, no-nonsense, and slightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif framework, using squared geometry and notched details to maintain clarity and personality at heavy weights. It prioritizes a strong, poster-friendly texture and a familiar vintage/athletic vernacular.
The numerals and capitals appear especially strong and geometric, lending themselves to impactful headline settings. The font’s dense color and tight internal spaces suggest it prefers larger sizes, where the cut-ins and squarish counters remain clear and intentional.
