An outlined, monoline display face built from squared, slab-like letterforms with chamfered corners and largely straight segments. Strokes are rendered as a single contour line with open counters, producing a consistent hollow look across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in places, with broad verticals, flat terminals, and a rhythmic pattern of clipped corners that gives many glyphs an octagonal feel. The lowercase echoes the caps’ structure rather than flowing like a text serif, and the figures are similarly block-shaped with angled cuts.
Well suited to team and club identities, sports-themed headlines, and bold poster typography where an outlined style can add hierarchy without filling large areas of ink. It also works for logos, badges, labels, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-leaning block serif voice.
The overall tone feels collegiate and sporty, evoking jersey lettering, athletic branding, and vintage scoreboard graphics. Its hollow construction adds a light, stamped or sign-painted personality, while the squared geometry keeps it assertive and no-nonsense.
The font appears designed to translate classic athletic block lettering into a clean outline style, emphasizing repeatable geometry, strong silhouettes, and easy applicability to badges and large-format display. The consistent chamfering and slab structure suggest an intention to feel traditional and emblematic while remaining crisp and graphic.
The design relies on repeated corner chamfers and slab terminals to create cohesion, with a steady outline thickness that reads best at medium to large sizes. The open interior space makes the shapes feel airy despite their heavy silhouettes, and the straight-edged construction gives it a mechanical, emblem-ready character.
