An outlined slab-serif design with broad, blocky proportions and a consistently thin contour line. The letterforms are built from sturdy, squared-off stems with gently rounded outer corners and bracketed slab terminals that read as athletic or sign-like. Counters are generous and the outline follows a steady rhythm, giving the shapes a clear, poster-friendly silhouette. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) keep a smooth, open construction, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) feel crisp and structural; the numerals echo the same chunky, campus-style geometry.
Well suited to large headlines, posters, and logo-style wordmarks where a varsity or heritage mood is desired. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, and packaging or signage that benefits from a classic slab-serif silhouette with an outlined finish.
The overall tone is collegiate and retro, recalling varsity lettering, uniforms, and traditional American signage. Despite the light outline, the shapes still feel confident and assertive thanks to their heavy, architectural skeleton. The result is sporty and nostalgic, with a clean, graphic presence.
The design appears intended to translate traditional collegiate slab-serif lettering into a modern outline treatment, preserving the recognizable varsity structure while adding a lighter, more graphic contour-driven look for display settings.
Because the design is outline-only, it tends to read best when given enough size, contrast, or a fill/stroke treatment that helps the contours stand apart from the background. Spacing feels fairly open, supporting display use where the interior whitespace can contribute to the look.
