A monoline outline serif with an inline, hollow construction that traces the outer contour of each glyph. The letterforms are built on sturdy slab-serifs and mostly squared terminals, softened by gentle rounding and light bracketing where strokes meet. Curves are broad and steady, counters stay open, and overall proportions feel traditionally bookish in the lowercase while the uppercase reads more sign-like and emphatic. Numerals follow the same outlined logic with clear, straightforward shapes and consistent stroke spacing.
Best suited for display work such as headlines, posters, team or club branding, badges, and packaging where the outlined slabs can read as a graphic motif. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a classic serif feel with a lighter, more decorative footprint.
The font conveys a collegiate, heritage tone—like traditional campus lettering or vintage athletic marks—while the outline treatment adds a poster-ready, light-on-ink presence. It feels confident and familiar rather than experimental, with a friendly, slightly nostalgic voice suited to classic Americana styling.
The design appears intended to merge traditional slab-serif letterforms with an outlined construction for strong, recognizable shapes that reproduce well as a graphic element. It aims for a familiar, collegiate serif vocabulary while adding an airy, attention-getting contour style for branding and display settings.
The open outline structure creates a strong silhouette without filling the interior, which can look crisp at large sizes and airy in headlines. Because the visual weight comes from contour rather than fill, it benefits from generous sizing and spacing to keep the interior gaps readable, especially in dense text.
