Diagonal chalk-hatched varsity slab with a rough fill
Chalk Varsity
Chalk Varsity is a varsity slab alphabet in which the letters are hatched diagonally as if drawn with chalk, the slabs stay flat and the fill is rough, so a word reads as a school board sign.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Chalk Varsity.
The C opens a wide crescent with a flat slab, the H keeps two even stems, the A carries a low crossbar and the Y forks with chalk lines running through every stroke, all at a heavy even weight with unbracketed slabs. The hatching is the character: the lines run in one direction at a consistent angle and stop short of the contour, which is what keeps the face reading as drawn rather than as textured print. Because the hatch is fine, the face needs 30 pt minimum and belongs on classroom and gym applications. The green chalkboard ground, the white chalk, the small doodles and the two caption lines are presentation; the slab face is the two words.

Sign for a classroom door
The hatched slabs read as chalk lettering at 30 mm, and the face gives a printed sign the look of a real board without the dust.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 250 by 100 mm door sign: set the class name at 30 mm, set the room number in a 12 mm slab at the right, and keep 12 mm of margin so the hatch fill is not cut by the plate edge.
Pre-production check
Hatch lines under 0.5 mm fill in on a matte print; check the proof and keep the face above 28 mm on paper.
Banner for a school sports day
The varsity weight reads at 15 cm from the field, and the chalk hatching gives a printed banner the look of a hand-lettered board.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 2 by 0.6 m banner: set the event name at 15 cm, set the date in a 5 cm slab below, and keep 12 cm of clear banner at each end so the eyelets fall on blank ground.
Pre-production check
Banner vinyl holds a hatch fill well but fades in sun; check an installed banner after a season and print a larger hatch if it greys out.
Cover for a school notebook
The hatched slabs hold at 14 pt on a printed cover, and the chalk treatment ties a stationery item to the classroom register.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 90 mm cover label: set the subject at 14 pt, set the pupil's name in a 6 pt sans beneath, and keep 5 mm of margin so the hatch is not cut by the rounded corner of the label.
Pre-production check
A hatch at 14 pt reads as a broken fill; check the printed label and use a plain slab cut on small stationery.
