An outline slab-serif with a single, consistent contour that traces each letterform, leaving the interior unfilled. The design uses sturdy, bracketed serifs and softly rounded curves, with low stroke modulation and a steady rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Counters are generous and open, terminals are squared and clear, and the outlines maintain even spacing that reads cleanly at display sizes. Overall proportions feel slightly expanded, giving the alphabet a broad footprint and strong horizontal presence.
Best used in headlines, posters, signage, and logo marks where the outline effect can remain crisp and intentional. It also works well for packaging and labels that want a classic slab-serif voice without the density of a filled weight, and for layered or color-overprint treatments where the hollow forms can be filled or patterned.
The outlined construction and slab-serifs evoke a vintage, collegiate sign-painting feel, with an airy, graphic lightness. It comes across as friendly and attention-getting rather than formal, suited to playful headlines and retro-leaning branding.
Likely designed to deliver a bold slab-serif silhouette in a lightweight, graphic way by using outlines instead of solid strokes. The consistent contour and approachable shapes suggest an intent to provide a versatile display face that feels retro, readable, and easy to style with color or texture.
The hollow drawing style emphasizes outer silhouettes, making spacing and contours the primary visual carriers. Numerals follow the same outlined slab structure and feel robust and poster-oriented, with clear differentiation between similar shapes.
