A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with crisp, squared geometry and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette. Strokes maintain an even, monoline feel, with sturdy, flat serifs and squared terminals throughout. Counters are tight and angular, apertures are relatively closed, and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy with strong vertical emphasis and minimal curvature.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and display typography where a strong, graphic presence is needed. It also fits sports and collegiate branding, labels and packaging that want a rugged heritage feel, and signage or wayfinding applications that benefit from high-impact letterforms.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian confidence—evoking varsity lettering, old poster woodtype, and workwear branding. Its sharp corners and dense color give it a no-nonsense, authoritative tone with a distinctly retro edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, modular construction—combining slab-serif stability with angular, beveled detailing for a vintage, hard-working display voice.
The numerals and capitals read especially solid and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same squared construction for a consistent voice. The angular notches and chamfers add texture at large sizes, but the tight counters and heavy joins suggest better performance in headlines than in long passages at small sizes.
