A compact, block-built slab serif with heavy, even strokes and crisp right angles that are frequently softened by small chamfered corners. Serifs read as sturdy rectangular slabs with flat terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, sign-ready silhouette. Counters are generally tight and geometric, and curves are constructed with faceted, octagonal-like turns rather than smooth rounds. Spacing and rhythm feel dense and sturdy, supporting strong word shapes at display sizes.
Well suited to sports identities, team marks, collegiate merchandise, and bold headline typography where impact and sturdiness are primary. It also works effectively for posters, labels, and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from compact width and high contrast against backgrounds. For longer text, it performs best in short emphatic blocks rather than extended reading.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a clear collegiate and athletic flavor mixed with industrial signage practicality. Its angular construction and chunky slabs suggest durability and confidence, leaning slightly vintage without becoming ornate. Overall it communicates strength, clarity, and a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient display voice with slab-seriffed structure and a distinctive faceted geometry. Its consistent, squared construction prioritizes punchy recognition and a rugged, emblematic feel suitable for branding and titling.
The faceted treatment is consistent across rounds like O/Q and numerals, producing a machined look. Lowercase details (such as the single-storey a and compact bowls) maintain the same squared logic, keeping the texture uniform and bold in longer lines.
