Tall condensed athletic blocks with a fine pale outer contour
Jersey Varsity
Jersey Varsity shows red narrow capitals on dark navy: thick straight uprights, clipped bowls and broad square feet create a compact two-row title separated from the ground by a fine pale contour, with a small date line above in a lighter treatment.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Jersey Varsity.
The stems compress, the bowls clip at the corners, the feet square off and a thin pale outline lifts every letter off the dark field. The pale contour is the character: it makes a heavy block read as a patch against a dark background, which is why the sample stacks two rows. Because the outline is fine, keep 30 pt before it holds, and note that the small date line proves no matching numeral set in the same weight. The pale contour is the layer that fails first: it thins out below 30 pt and disappears on a light background, and the date line shows no numerals in the same weight.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Jersey Varsity’s stroke geometry.
Shirt print for a varsity team
The condensed blocks suit a team shirt, and the pale contour keeps the name distinct on navy at 80 mm across the chest. The pale contour also keeps the blocks from sinking into navy.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 300 mm chest print: set the upper row at 80 mm and the lower at 62 mm, keep the contour at 2 mm, and keep 45 mm of clear shirt beneath for the number. Keep the number on a plain row.
Pre-production check
A contour thinner than 1.5 mm disappears on a dark shirt; check the film and thicken the outline rather than the block.
Banner for a summer league
The compact rows read at distance, and the square feet hold a league name at 55 mm on a printed banner. The compact feet also keep a banner row tidy at distance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 1200 by 600 mm banner: set the two rows at 55 mm, keep 16 mm between them, and keep 30 mm from the welded edge so the contour stays clean. Keep the date line small and light.
Pre-production check
The date line sits lighter than the title; check the banner proof before assuming one numeral weight covers both.
Label for a sports shop
The outlined blocks give a shop label structure, and the clipped bowls stay open at 22 pt on a 55 mm panel. The contour also gives a small label definition on dark stock.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 55 by 40 mm label: set the shop name at 22 pt, keep the contour at 1 mm, and set the trade line in a 6 pt caps beneath with 4 mm of clear ground. Keep one row only on small panels.
Pre-production check
Two outlined rows on a small panel turn into stripes; check the proof and keep one row only below 40 mm. Ask for a plate proof of the label.

Solid varsity slab with flat serifs
Varsity Valor
Varsity Valor is a varsity display face in solid black on a pale ground: heavy capitals with thick flat serifs, flat apexes and a tight fit, with a small hatched pattern behind the words and tracked capital lines above and below.

Ab Varsity Outline
Ab Varsity Outline is an athletic slab in which the capitals keep a white interior inside a heavy dark outline, the outer corners clip away, the feet square off broad and the O and R turn polygonal, so a team name reads as a stitched patch letter without the fill.
Layered varsity display
Vesper Varsity
Vesper Varsity is a display varsity in black with a white inline and a grey outer shadow on white: heavy caps with block serifs, a high waist and closed counters, set on two lines with a small tracked note above and a smaller line beneath.
