This typeface is built from clean outline contours with an inner inline that creates a double-stroked, hollow look. Letterforms are upright and fairly sturdy, with slab-serif construction and softly bracketed joins that keep corners from feeling sharp. Curves are round and generous (notably in C/O/S), while verticals and horizontals maintain a consistent stroke rhythm that reads as even and graphic. The overall spacing and proportions feel traditional and stable, with slightly wide, open counters and clear interior shapes in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where the outline construction can read crisply and add texture without additional effects. It also works well for packaging, badges, and logo wordmarks that want a vintage or collegiate accent, especially when paired with solid-filled companion type for body text.
The outlined, double-line treatment gives the face a sign-painting and retro display flavor, evoking classic storefront lettering and varsity-style headings. It feels confident and bold in presence without relying on heavy fill, making it read as spirited and decorative rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with a decorative inline outline effect, maximizing presence through silhouette and contour rather than filled weight. It’s tuned for attention-getting display settings where a retro, crafted feel is desirable.
The lowercase shows a distinctly display-oriented personality, with single-storey forms (such as a and g) and simplified, robust terminals that keep the outline from getting fussy. Numerals are clear and straightforward, matching the slab-serif logic and maintaining strong silhouettes that hold up at headline sizes.
