A slab-serif outline design with monoline contours that trace the letterforms rather than filling them. The shapes are sturdy and fairly geometric, with broad, squared serifs and gentle bracketing at joins that keeps corners from feeling overly sharp. Curves (C, G, O, S) are round and even, while verticals and horizontals maintain consistent stroke spacing, producing a clean, uniform inner channel. The lowercase is straightforward and readable with simple construction and open counters, and the numerals follow the same sturdy, slightly boxy rhythm.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and signage where the outlined construction can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for logos, badges, and packaging that want a traditional collegiate or retro display flavor, especially when paired with solid companion type for body text.
The overall tone feels collegiate and classic, echoing vintage athletic lettering and traditional display typography. Because the forms are outlined rather than solid, it also takes on a lighter, more craft-oriented feel—playful and a bit nostalgic without becoming whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar slab-serif display voice in an outline form, emphasizing bold silhouettes and a classic, varsity-adjacent presence while keeping the overall color light and open.
The outline treatment creates strong, recognizable silhouettes while leaving the interior open, which can make the design feel airy at larger sizes. The slab serifs and consistent spacing give it a steady rhythm in both all-caps settings and mixed-case text, especially in short display lines.
