An outline slab-serif with a monoline contour and rounded-rectangle geometry. The letterforms are sturdy and blocky, with bracketless slab serifs, softened corners, and generously open counters. The outline is consistent and clean, giving each glyph a sign-like presence while keeping the interior largely unfilled; curves (C, O, S) stay smooth and even, and joints remain simple rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are compact and legible with a notably tall x-height, and the numerals follow the same squared, outlined construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited for display use such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, sports or school-themed branding, and packaging where an outlined, high-impact voice is desired. It can also work for short subheads or labels when given enough size and contrast so the outline remains crisp.
The overall tone reads collegiate and vintage, like athletic lettering translated into a clean, modern outline treatment. It feels upbeat and approachable, with a slightly nostalgic, poster-ready character that prioritizes impact over subtlety.
The design appears intended to capture classic slab-serif display energy—especially collegiate and athletic motifs—while using an outline-only build to create a lightweight, graphic alternative to solid block lettering.
The hollow construction benefits from ample spacing around the contour, helping the shapes stay readable in larger settings. The slab serifs and squared terminals create a strong baseline rhythm, while the rounded corners keep the effect friendly rather than severe.
