An outlined slab-serif with a consistent, monoline contour that traces letterforms without interior fill. The shapes are built from sturdy, squared-off serifs and straight stems, softened by slightly rounded corners and gentle curves in bowls and shoulders. Counters remain open and clean, and the outline thickness stays even across verticals, horizontals, and curves, creating a crisp, airy rhythm. Uppercase forms feel blocky and stable, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable structure with familiar proportions and simple joins.
Well-suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, and storefront-style graphics where an outlined, athletic flavor is desired. It can work effectively in badges, team- or club-themed branding, packaging accents, and logotype treatments, especially when paired with a solid companion face for supporting text.
The overall tone reads classic and collegiate, reminiscent of varsity lettering and vintage sign painting translated into a clean outline. Its hollow construction gives it a lightweight, decorative presence that feels sporty and nostalgic without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to evoke classic slab-serif sports and signage letterforms while using an outline-only construction to add lightness and stylistic punch. The consistent contour and simplified detailing suggest an emphasis on bold silhouettes, easy recognition, and decorative versatility in display typography.
Numerals follow the same slab-and-outline logic, with clear silhouettes and consistent terminal treatment, making them visually cohesive with the letters. The open contours suggest it will be most effective when given adequate size or contrast against the background so the fine outline remains distinct.
