A compact, heavy slab serif with squared-off contours and flat, block-like terminals. The strokes are consistently robust, with minimal contrast and crisp, chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-corner silhouette in rounded letters like O/C and numerals. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are narrow, producing a dense texture and strong horizontal emphasis through thick serifs and crossbars. Lowercase forms follow a simplified, sturdy construction that keeps widths tight and shapes highly regular.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a strong, compact word shape is needed. It fits sports and collegiate-style branding, bold packaging labels, and short signage copy that benefits from a sturdy slab-serif presence.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, evoking athletic lettering and traditional poster vernacular. Its squared serifs and cut-corner geometry give it a no-nonsense, utilitarian feel with a hint of vintage Americana.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, combining heavy slabs with squared, cut-corner geometry for a clear, rugged display voice. It prioritizes uniform strength and repeatable forms over delicate detail, aiming for confident readability in titles and branding.
The face reads best at larger sizes where the angular corner cuts and slab terminals remain distinct; at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight can merge and darken. Numerals are especially blocky and sign-like, matching the uppercase’s rigid, architectural rhythm.
