A slab‑serif outline design with bracketed serifs and softly rounded joins. The letterforms are drawn as clean outer contours, creating a hollow, open interior and a lightweight presence despite the chunky, collegiate silhouettes. Curves are broad and smooth, terminals are squared-off by slab serifs, and the outlines maintain steady stroke spacing that keeps counters airy and legible. Uppercase forms read sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase keeps the same slab‑serif construction with simple, compact shapes and a straightforward, readable rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where the outlined construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, sports branding, team and event graphics, and packaging or labels that benefit from a classic varsity flavor. It can also work well as a decorative accent face when layered over solid fills or used with contrasting backgrounds.
The overall tone is varsity and nostalgic, echoing athletic lettering and mid‑century sign and patch aesthetics. Its hollow construction adds a light, upbeat character that feels energetic and graphic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to translate traditional collegiate slab‑serif letterforms into an outline-only display style, preserving the familiar varsity shapes while gaining a lighter, more flexible graphic presence for modern layouts and decorative treatments.
The outlined treatment makes the face feel like an unfilled headline style that can pair well with color fills, strokes, or layering effects. The numerals follow the same slab‑serif, outlined construction and stay consistent in corner handling and curvature.
