A decorative serif with heavy, compact letterforms built from straight strokes, crisp angles, and frequent chamfered (octagonal) corners. Serifs are pronounced and wedge-like, with a carved, engraved feel rather than soft bracketing; joins and terminals tend to end in flat cuts or pointed notches. Counters are relatively small and polygonal, and the overall rhythm is sturdy and blocky, giving the alphabet a distinctly constructed, sign-like silhouette. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with squared curves and clipped corners that keep the texture dense and consistent in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where its faceted detailing and strong silhouette can be appreciated. It also fits sports and collegiate branding, badges, labels, and signage where a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The tone reads collegiate and heritage-forward, evoking varsity lettering, traditional signage, and institutional gravitas. Its sharp facets and carved terminals add a rugged, workmanlike edge that feels confident and slightly old-world.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif structures through a chiseled, varsity-inspired construction, prioritizing impact, tradition, and a carved display aesthetic over neutrality.
In the sample text, the dense black texture holds together well at display sizes, while the angular detailing remains a defining characteristic across both capitals and lowercase. The forms favor straight geometry over roundness, which reinforces a crisp, emblematic look.
