A slab-serif display face built from monoline outline strokes, creating hollow letterforms with a consistent double-line effect. The construction is largely rectilinear with softened corners, producing squared curves in bowls and a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Serifs are blocky and bracketless, and the outlines keep even spacing around counters, giving capitals a collegiate sign-painting feel. Lowercase forms follow the same outlined, slabby logic with simple terminals and compact joins, while numerals are similarly geometric and open.
Best suited to short, large-scale settings where the outline structure can fully resolve—headlines, posters, team or varsity-style branding, and logo wordmarks. It can also work well on packaging and labels when you want a bold, graphic presence without a heavy fill, especially over flat colors or patterns.
The outlined treatment and slab-serif skeleton evoke vintage athletic lettering and mid-century signage. Its hollow interiors add a light, graphic punch that reads as fun and attention-getting rather than formal, with a friendly, slightly toy-like sturdiness.
The design appears intended to translate classic slab-serif, varsity-inspired letterforms into a lightweight, decorative outline style. By keeping strokes monoline and corners rounded, it aims for consistent legibility while emphasizing a distinctive hollow, sign-like silhouette for display typography.
Because the design relies on outlines, the apparent color changes noticeably with size and background: at smaller sizes the interior gaps can visually fill in, while at larger sizes the inline spacing becomes a prominent decorative feature. The squared, rounded-rectangle curves help maintain clarity in the hollow forms, especially in letters with large bowls such as O, Q, and D.
