A compact, blocky outline face with a uniform stroke and a generous inner counter that creates a clean hollow look. Letterforms are built from squared geometry with softened corners and frequent chamfered cuts on outer edges, giving a jersey-like, beveled silhouette. Curves are handled as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, and the contours stay consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures for a steady, modular rhythm.
Best suited for large display settings such as headlines, team or event branding, posters, badges, and packaging where the outlined build can interact with color fills or backgrounds. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the open outline style is most effective when given room and strong contrast.
The tone reads athletic and nostalgic, evoking scoreboard numerals, varsity lettering, and classic arcade or sports branding. Its hollow construction keeps it energetic and light despite the chunky proportions, making it feel playful and attention-seeking rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice that references varsity/athletic and game-like aesthetics while staying clean and highly consistent. The chamfered corners and rounded-rect geometry suggest a goal of strong recognizability and a distinctive silhouette at a glance.
Distinctive notches and corner cuts add character in places like S, G, and 2/3, while straight-sided bowls and rectangular counters help maintain a sturdy, engineered feel. The outline weight is consistent, so spacing and background color strongly influence perceived darkness, especially in longer text lines.
