A slab-serif display design drawn as a clean outline, with consistent, monoline contours and open counters throughout. The letterforms are broad and stable, built from mostly straight stems with squared terminals, while rounds (C, O, G) keep a smooth, even curvature. Serifs read as bracketless slabs, giving the alphabet a sturdy, sign-like skeleton even though the strokes are hollow. Spacing appears generous and the outlines remain uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals, preserving a crisp, graphic rhythm in text.
This style suits headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts where an outlined, athletic look is desired. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, apparel marks, and signage or packaging that benefits from a classic varsity/retro voice.
The overall tone feels collegiate and retro, reminiscent of varsity lettering and classic American signage. The hollow construction adds a light, playful spirit while still projecting confidence and structure.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional slab-serif/varsity structure in an outline format, prioritizing graphic impact and a recognizable, sporty silhouette over continuous text economy.
The outline-only build makes interior spaces and counters a key part of the design, so the font reads best when there is enough size (or stroke) for the contour to remain distinct. Numerals share the same squared, slab-influenced construction, supporting consistent use in headings and short callouts.
