A broad, slab-serif design drawn as a clean monoline outline with an inner inline that creates a hollow, double-contour effect. Forms are wide and sturdy in proportion, with flat terminals, squared shoulders, and slightly rounded corners that soften the block geometry. Curves (C, O, S, 3, 8) are generously open and evenly drawn, while the slab serifs stay consistent across caps and lowercase, giving the face a uniform, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, badges, and sports or school branding where the outlined, varsity-inspired shapes can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging or signage when you want an assertive, retro voice without the heaviness of a filled slab.
The overall tone feels collegiate and vintage, echoing varsity lettering and classic Americana signage. The outlined construction adds a lightweight, decorative flair that reads energetic and playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif/varsity look with added decoration through outlining and an inner inline, creating impact while keeping the color of the text visually light. Its consistent, blocky construction prioritizes bold silhouette and straightforward legibility in display contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally roomy, helping the outline and inline stay distinct in display sizes. The font’s strong horizontals and pronounced slabs keep it readable for headlines, while the hollow interior suggests it may need sufficient size or contrast when used over busy backgrounds.
