A monoline outline slab-serif design with open counters and consistent stroke thickness throughout. The letterforms are built from sturdy, slightly condensed blocks with squared terminals and pronounced slab serifs, giving a stable, sign-like silhouette. Curves are clean and moderately round (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and corners stay crisp, creating a tidy, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same outlined construction, with simple, legible shapes and even spacing that keeps the texture regular in running text.
Well-suited for display typography such as sports branding, school or club identities, posters, and bold headlines where an outlined, badge-like look is desired. It can also work for apparel graphics and packaging accents, especially when paired with solid fills, shadows, or color to enhance the contour-based construction.
The overall tone feels collegiate and vintage, like classic athletic lettering rendered as a hollow outline. Its crisp slabs and uniform line weight read as confident and structured, while the open outline treatment adds a lighter, more playful feel suited to display settings.
The design appears intended to echo traditional slab-serif varsity lettering while offering a lighter, more flexible outline treatment for modern graphic applications. By keeping strokes uniform and contours clean, it emphasizes silhouette and emblematic presence over text-density for long reading.
Uppercase forms are especially strong and emblematic, with broad shoulders and clear serif cues that hold up at larger sizes. The outline draws attention to exterior contours, so the design reads best when given enough size or contrast against the background to keep the thin contour lines distinct.
