A heavy, slab-serif display face built from blocky, mostly rectilinear forms with chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette in curves like C, G, O, and 0. Strokes are thick and even, with prominent square slabs and flat terminals that emphasize a sturdy, poster-ready texture. Counters are compact and angular, joins are sharp, and spacing feels deliberately tight, producing a dark, uniform rhythm across words. The lowercase echoes the same chiseled construction, with sturdy stems, squared shoulders, and concise apertures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where impact and presence are priorities. It also fits sports-themed branding, badges, labels, and signage applications that benefit from a rugged, traditional, slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a classic collegiate and workmanlike character. Its chamfered geometry suggests heritage signage and athletic lettering, while the dense color and squared serifs add an authoritative, no-nonsense feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, display-oriented slab serif with a distinctive chamfered construction. Its consistent angular rounding and heavy serifs aim to balance vintage athletic cues with a durable, industrial readability for prominent applications.
Round characters are consistently “squared off,” and the numerals follow the same octagonal logic, keeping the set cohesive. The strong slabs and tight interior spaces create high impact at larger sizes, but the compact counters can feel dense in longer passages.
