A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared construction and prominent, flat-ended serifs. Letterforms are largely rectilinear with frequent chamfered (clipped) corners that introduce an octagonal rhythm, especially in rounded shapes like C, G, O, and S. Counters are tight and geometric, and joins stay crisp, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture in words. The lowercase follows the same squared logic with sturdy stems and minimal curvature, while numerals are similarly angular and uniform in weight.
Best suited to display settings where maximum impact and clear silhouette matter: headlines, posters, team or club identities, and bold packaging or label work. It also fits signage and merch applications that benefit from an assertive, vintage athletic feel.
The overall tone reads bold and no-nonsense, with a classic collegiate/athletic voice and an industrial, sign-painted sturdiness. The clipped corners add a retro, workmanlike character that feels both vintage and utilitarian, emphasizing strength and visibility over delicacy.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a sturdy, attention-grabbing slab serif with a squared, chamfered geometry that holds up at large sizes. The consistent, blocky construction suggests a focus on strong presence and straightforward legibility in branding and display contexts.
The design’s repeated corner chamfers and broad serifs create a strong horizontal cadence in text. In longer lines, the dense color and compact counters can make the texture feel forceful and poster-like, favoring short, emphatic statements over airy typography.
