Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Hollow Varsity.
Hollow Varsity is a triple-contoured hollow collegiate slab, with octagonal capitals, concentric outline rings and matching jersey numerals, supplied as OTF, TTF and WOFF for print and web. The hollow construction means the letter is defined by its three lines rather than a fill, so it reads as an applied patch at 30 mm and as a clean graphic at 200 mm, and the rings must stay separated or the word closes into a solid block. It is a sports and school face for jerseys, posters and merch.

Jersey number set, team poster and locker banner
Concentric rings read as a stitched patch without embroidery, which is what a school team can afford. Numerals share the construction, so a number and a name match.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Jersey back 300 x 250 mm, name 50 mm, number 170 mm with 4 mm rings, 40 mm margins. Poster A2, word 260 mm, roster 20/26 pt. Banner 1200 x 400 mm, word 200 mm.
Pre-production check
Rings under 2 mm close on a plastisol print and the outline becomes a solid slab. Keep rings at 4 mm at delivery size, and wash one printed jersey twice before the team order.
Sports-theme invitation, cake topper and sticker
Hollow athletic letters read as a team patch, which suits a sports party without licensed kit. The rings give a graphic edge at 45 mm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invite A6, name 16 mm, age numeral 30 mm, details 4.5 mm, 10 mm margins. Topper 130 x 110 mm, numeral 60 mm, 8 mm stick slot. Sticker 50 mm round, word 7 mm, 2 mm die margin.
Pre-production check
A topper pushed into icing can transfer ink from the area nearest the stick, and a triple outline is unforgiving. Keep the artwork above the 8 mm slot line, and check one assembled topper.
Tournament banner, field sign and end-of-season print
Hollow letters read from a distance as a light graphic rather than a heavy block, which suits a summer tournament on a bright field. The rings survive a UV print on board.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Banner 1500 x 400 mm, word 250 mm, 100 mm margins. Field sign 900 x 600 mm, word 180 mm, 60 mm margins. Print 300 x 400 mm, word 80 mm, 30 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Field signs are printed on board and viewed in glare, where thin hollow rings disappear. Check one 1:1 print outdoors at midday, and thicken the rings if the letter loses its outline.
