A slab-serif display design built from chunky, squared letterforms drawn as clean outlines. Strokes are monoline in feel, with broad verticals and sturdy rectangular serifs, softened by subtly rounded outer corners. Counters are generous and mostly rectangular, with consistent interior spacing that keeps the alphabet readable even as an outline. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with a tall lowercase relative to caps and simple, geometric construction across letters and numerals.
Works best in large sizes where the outline can read clearly: sports and school identities, event posters, team apparel graphics, and bold packaging or signage. It can also function as a secondary display face paired with a solid text font to add a collegiate accent in short phrases or badges.
The overall tone evokes classic varsity lettering and mid-century sign styles—confident, energetic, and slightly nostalgic. Its hollow construction adds a playful, poster-ready presence while staying orderly and straightforward.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic athletic block look in an outlined form, offering the presence of heavy slabs while keeping the texture open and airy. The consistent geometry and steady outline thickness suggest an emphasis on clarity, reproducibility, and high-impact display use.
Diagonal joins and inside corners are handled with crisp angles, giving the design a cut-from-stencil, athletic-block rhythm without appearing distressed. Numerals follow the same squared, slabbed logic, supporting cohesive titling and scoreboard-like settings.
