Chicago Titans

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Chicago Titans.
Stems are extremely wide relative to the height, so the counters in a, e and g narrow to slots, while the wide T feet and flat slab terminals give the line a hard rectangular silhouette. Spacing is deliberately tight, with letters nearly touching, which is what produces the varsity-patch density rather than any added outline or stroke. Mixed case is used: the first word sits shorter and heavier, the second stretches wider across the rule beneath it. The two hairline rules and the tracked subtitle in the preview are layout elements rather than part of the alphabet. At small sizes the tightness becomes the limiting factor long before the weight does.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Chicago Titans’s stroke geometry.
Team roster cover for a campus club
The compressed silhouette gives a school publication a strong front cover without needing a photograph behind it, which keeps the print cheap.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Run the two words at 20 mm cap height on A4, then set the roster in a lighter grotesque at 9 pt, keeping at least 6 mm between the title and the first name.
Pre-production check
Check the a and g counters on your printer, because they fill in quickly on uncoated stock and the fix is a lighter stock rather than a thinner weight.
Gym or club merchandise
Heavy slabs hold at distance on apparel and signage, which is what a small club identity needs on a tight printing budget.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Measure the full word width before you size the artwork, since this face is wider than it looks and a chest print runs out of shirt before it runs out of height.
Pre-production check
Test a single-colour screen print first: the tight spacing leaves very little room for ink spread between neighbouring letters.
Banner for a school sports day
Blocky slabs read from the far side of a pitch, where a script or a thin sans disappears against grass and crowd movement.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Keep four words maximum at 30 cm width, print in one solid colour on white banner stock, and put the event schedule below in a plain sans at 3 cm cap height.
Pre-production check
Avoid outlines on this face, because the counters are already narrow and a keyline closes them entirely.
