A slab-serif outline face with double-line construction: a heavy outer contour paired with an inner inline that creates a hollow, sign-painter feel. Strokes are uniform and low in contrast, with squared terminals, sturdy bracketless serifs, and slightly rounded corners that keep the geometry friendly rather than sharp. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while the lowercase shows simple, sturdy shapes (single-storey a and g) and compact counters that stay clear thanks to the open interior treatment. Numerals mirror the same outlined, athletic structure with consistent stroke spacing and strong, poster-like silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where the outline effect can breathe: headlines, posters, signage, and bold editorial callouts. It also fits sports branding and team-themed materials such as jerseys, apparel graphics, and event promotions, as well as packaging and labels that benefit from a classic, stamped look.
The overall tone reads collegiate and sporty, like varsity lettering and vintage team graphics. The outlined construction adds a marquee/label-maker energy that feels bold and attention-seeking, while the rounded details keep it approachable and a bit playful.
The font appears designed to deliver high-impact display typography with a vintage varsity/label aesthetic, using a double-outline system to create presence without filling in the letterforms. Its slab-serif structure aims for clarity and sturdiness while maintaining a decorative, emblem-like character.
Because the design relies on interior whitespace, the inner line spacing and counter openings become critical at smaller sizes; it visually strengthens as it scales up. The consistent outline rhythm gives headings a cohesive texture, and the slab serifs contribute a traditional, workmanlike stability.
