A heavy, angular serif with pronounced chamfered corners that carve the strokes into octagonal, sign‑like shapes. Stems are thick and fairly uniform, with short wedge/triangular serifs and frequent clipped terminals that create crisp, faceted counters (notably in O, Q, and numerals). Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with squared shoulders, tight apertures, and a consistent, geometric rhythm across caps and lowercase; the texture is dense and high-impact in text.
This font is best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as sports and school identities, badges and emblems, posters, and punchy editorial headlines. It can also work on packaging or labels where a vintage, institutional feel is desired and the dense texture becomes a feature rather than a limitation.
The overall tone reads collegiate and heritage-driven, combining a traditional serif foundation with a rugged, machined edge. Its sharp facets and blocky presence evoke uniforms, badges, and institutional signage, lending an assertive, confident voice.
The design appears intended to modernize classic serif letterforms with a faceted, chamfered construction, producing a rugged display style that stays readable while signaling tradition and strength.
Round letters are deliberately polygonal rather than truly curved, and many joins and diagonals end in clipped points that emphasize a cut-stone or engraved look. Numerals match the caps in weight and angularity, supporting strong headline cohesion.
