A slab-serif outline design with monoline contour strokes and squared, bracketed terminals. The letterforms are built from sturdy, fairly traditional proportions, with generous counters and clear interior spacing created by the hollow construction. Curves are smooth and rounded while horizontals and verticals stay crisp, giving an even rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The outlines track consistently from glyph to glyph, producing a clean, sign-ready silhouette rather than a distressed or hand-drawn look.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, badges, and logo marks where the outlined slab-serifs can read clearly. It also fits sports and collegiate branding, menu and packaging accents, and any design system that needs a vintage title look without a filled weight. For longer passages, it’s more appropriate as a highlight style (pull quotes, section titles) than as continuous body text.
The overall tone reads collegiate and vintage, echoing jersey lettering and classic storefront titling. Its open, airy outlines feel lighthearted and decorative, adding a friendly emphasis without the heaviness of filled slab serifs. The style suggests a nostalgic, Americana-leaning character that still feels tidy and controlled.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif voice in a lightweight, outline-only rendering, creating strong shapes with minimal visual mass. It prioritizes clear, familiar letter structures and consistent contour drawing to produce a versatile decorative face for branding and titling.
The uppercase set carries the strongest presence, while the lowercase keeps familiar serifed forms (notably the two-storey shapes where expected) to maintain readability in short text. Numerals match the same slab-serif structure and rounded geometry, keeping the set visually cohesive in headings and badges. Because the design relies on contour definition, it will be most effective at sizes where the outline remains clearly resolved.
