A heavy, block-built slab with squared proportions and pronounced rectangular serifs. Strokes show subtle contrast and frequent chamfered corners, with small triangular notches/ink-trap–like cuts at joins and interior angles that keep counters open at display sizes. Curves are largely squared off into octagonal forms (notably in C, G, O, and the numerals), and the overall rhythm is tight and emphatic with short ascenders/descenders relative to the sturdy lowercase body. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular bowls and flat terminals for a cohesive, sign-like texture.
Best suited to display work where impact matters: headlines, posters, apparel graphics, signage, and bold packaging. It also fits sports or campus-style branding and any layout needing a strong, traditional voice, especially at larger sizes where the chamfers and interior cut-ins read clearly.
The face projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with strong heritage cues—part collegiate lettering, part old poster and workwear signage. Its chunky geometry and chiseled details give it an assertive, slightly rugged personality that reads as traditional and dependable rather than sleek or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab foundation, adding faceted corners and join cutaways to improve clarity and create a distinctive, vintage-industrial texture. It aims for a compact, authoritative look that holds together in short phrases and logos while retaining a recognizable, crafted character.
Uppercase forms are particularly uniform and architectural, while lowercase introduces more internal cut-ins and chunky terminals that add a crafted, stamped feel. The faceting and corner cutaways create distinctive word shapes and prevent dark spots in dense settings, but also make the texture intentionally bold and attention-grabbing.
