Heavy condensed baseball slab with solid square serifs
Baseball Custom is a heavy condensed slab alphabet in which the stems stay wide, the serifs turn square and the fit runs tight, so a two-word title reads as the lettering on a team jacket.

Visual anatomy & craft review
The B stacks two square bowls, the A carries a wide bar, the S steps a heavy spine, the E sets three thick arms and the M keeps four stout stems, all at a baseball weight with square serifs and almost no contrast. The condensation with full weight is the character: the face fills a narrow band without looking squeezed, which is why the sample sets two stacked words with stars either side. Because the counters stay open, the face reads from 26 pt and cuts cleanly in vinyl or felt. The cream ground, the stars, the ball and the ball-stitch corners are presentation; the black display words are the face.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Baseball Custom’s stroke geometry.
The heavy slabs read as stitched jersey appliqué on their own, and the condensed fit keeps a long team name on one line at 80 mm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 320 mm chest print: set the team name at 80 mm in one ink, keep every serif at 4 mm minimum, and leave 40 mm of clear fabric below for the number.
Pre-production check
A square serif under 3 mm fills in on a screen; check the film at full size and widen the serif rather than the letters.
The condensed weight reads from the top row of the bleachers, and the square slabs hold a field name at 130 mm on a painted panel.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 900 by 300 mm field panel: set the name at 130 mm, keep a 35 mm border all round, and set the innings line in a 20 pt slab beneath with 25 mm of clearance.
Pre-production check
A tight fit on a wide panel leaves no air; check the panel and add 1 percent tracking rather than reducing the size.
The slabs translate into felt appliqué without redrawing, and the heavy weight stays solid at 55 mm on a sew-on club patch.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Cut a 75 mm club patch: set the name at 55 mm, keep every serif as a straight cut line, and leave a 6 mm border so the merrowed edge does not eat the outline.
Pre-production check
A merrowed edge eats about 3 mm; check the artwork and keep every letter 6 mm inside the cut line.
