Chalk-weathered athletic slab with hatched wear and square feet
Distressed Sport
Distressed Sport is an athletic slab alphabet in which the stems are heavy and square, the wear runs as chalk hatching across the fill and the feet stay flat, so a word reads as a print pulled off a worn gym wall.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Distressed Sport.
The S reverses through flat curves, the P holds a squared bowl, the O closes a rectangular counter and the R carries a straight leg, all at a heavy even weight with unbracketed slabs and a mask that scratches diagonally through the strokes. That hatching is the character: the wear runs in one direction, which reads as chalk or screen texture rather than as random noise. Because the scratches are fine, the face needs 30 pt minimum and works best on a garment where the texture is expected. The teal chalkboard ground, the white ink, the small arc and the two captions are presentation; the slab face is the two words.

Print for an old-gym team shirt
The hatched wear reads as a print from a school archive, and the square slabs survive a screen print at 70 mm on a cotton shirt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Screen a 300 mm front print: set the team name at 70 mm through a 110-thread mesh, keep the hatch lines at 1.5 mm, and stay 45 mm below the collar so the print clears the shoulder seam allowance.
Pre-production check
Hatch lines under 1 mm close on a coarse mesh; check a pull on the actual shirt and thin the hatching rather than the slabs.
Sign for a gym wall
The weathered weight reads at 18 cm across a hall, and the chalk hatching gives a painted panel the look of an old scoreboard.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 1.6 by 0.5 m panel: set the hall name at 18 cm, set the room labels in a 5 cm slab below, and keep 10 cm of clear panel at each end so the fixings miss the letters.
Pre-production check
A directional hatch printed at 18 cm can read as a printer fault; check the panel at three metres and rotate the hatching so it looks deliberate.
Tag for sports kit
The slab weight holds at 11 pt on a small kit tag, and the wear keeps a printed label from looking like a generic sports mark.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 by 25 mm kit tag: set the club at 11 pt, set the size in a 5 pt caps slab beneath, and keep 4 mm of margin so the flat feet are not cut by the die or the punched hole.
Pre-production check
A weathered mask at 11 pt reads as a dirty print; check the tag and use the clean cut below 14 pt.
