A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared proportions and pronounced, flat serifs. Many joins and terminals are cut with chamfered, octagonal corners, giving the forms a faceted, machined look rather than fully rectangular geometry. Strokes are thick and relatively consistent, with tight interior counters and compact apertures that prioritize mass and presence. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and uniform, while the lowercase keeps the same angular logic with short ascenders and a sturdy, planted baseline.
This font performs best in large sizes where its chunky slabs and chamfered detailing can read clearly—headlines, posters, apparel graphics, and sports-themed branding. The dense stroke weight and compact counters also make it effective for signage and bold packaging labels, especially when a sturdy, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining a classic collegiate poster feel with an industrial, stamped-metal toughness. Its faceted corners and dense color create a sense of strength, tradition, and impact, with a slightly retro, athletic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through heavy strokes, slabbed terminals, and faceted corners that suggest durability and craft. It aims for a classic, team- and poster-oriented aesthetic while maintaining a crisp, engineered edge that holds up in bold display typography.
The numerals are especially suited to big, attention-grabbing settings, with squared silhouettes and clear, simplified counters. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown; the available sample demonstrates strong headline rhythm and a distinctly angular texture across longer lines.
