A monoline outline serif with sturdy slab-like terminals and gently bracketed joins. The letterforms are built from a single outer contour, creating a hollow, open interior and a crisp, sign-ready silhouette. Proportions are moderately wide with stable, upright construction; curves are smooth and slightly squared-off at transitions, and counters are generous, which helps the outline remain readable at display sizes. Numerals follow the same blocky, slab-serif rhythm, keeping a consistent weight and spacing across the set.
Best suited for display contexts such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where the outline effect can be appreciated. It also fits sports and school-themed branding, badges, and event graphics, especially when paired with fills, shadows, or layered treatments to amplify the hollow look.
The overall tone feels collegiate and retro, evoking classic varsity lettering and mid-century signage rendered as an outline. The hollow construction adds a light, buoyant personality, making the font feel friendly and attention-getting rather than formal or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif, varsity-inspired voice in an outline-only construction, offering a bold silhouette without heavy fill. It’s shaped to be easily styled in graphic applications—ready for layering, coloring, or adding effects—while maintaining a consistent, structured rhythm.
Because the design is purely outlined, the perceived color depends heavily on stroke/outline thickness and background contrast; it will appear more delicate at small sizes and more confident when enlarged. The slab serifs and open counters create a steady horizontal rhythm that reads well in short headlines and punchy phrases.
